Situated not far from the CBD, Sandown racecourse was the home of some of the first car races in Australia in 1904. Since then a horse racing track and lake have been built inside the motorracing circuit.

Since its early days, Sandown has hosted a variety of events with the EasterNats, Historic Sandown and Sandown 500 featuring the V8 Supercars, being regular events.

Being so close to Melbourne's centre, Sandown is also used for new car release and corporate drive days. Mercedes Benz and BMW conduct driver training there
