The Adelaide 500, commonly known as the Clipsal 500, is an annual racing carnival for Touring Cars held in the east end of Adelaide on a shortened form of the Adelaide Street Circuit, the former Australian Grand Prix track. The event is named for naming rights sponsor Clipsal Electronics.
Usually held over four days in early March, the main event is the 500 km V8 Supercar race split over the last two days of the event. The rest of the four days are filled with practice, qualifying, and support races for a number of other racing categories, including production cars and Australian Formula 3.
Crowd numbers are very high for a domestic touring car series event, usually in excess of 200,000 people over the four days. It is almost normal for the current event to set a new attendance record over the previous year. The event also features a concert every night, air displays, amusements and social attractions that bring in spectators from Adelaide, interstate and overseas.
The event won best event of the series every year from 1999 to 2004. In 2005 it was inducted into the V8 Supercars Australia Hall of Fame, the first time an individual event has been inducted.
