Lockyer Powerfest

Lockyer Powerfest is back for 2026—and the National Drivers’ Championship returns to Laidley. Following a standout debut, Australia’s top powerboat racers once again take to the water, delivering heart‑pounding action, raw speed, and edge‑of‑your‑seat competition. From the thunder of the engines to the electric energy onshore, this is powerboat racing at its absolute best.

Across three massive days, Lockyer Powerfest delivers nonstop action on and off the water, with qualifying heats, championship racing, and live commentary bringing every moment to life. Off the track, soak up the relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere with mouth‑watering food trucks, free on‑site parking, quality amenities, and plenty of open grassy areas perfect for picnic rugs and camping chairs.

Whether you’re a long‑time motorsport fan or experiencing powerboat racing for the first time, these machines have to be seen to be believed—and that’s exactly why crowds return year after year.
