Red CentreNATS

Now in its 13th year, Red CentreNATS is built different, bringing thousands of competitors and spectators together for a unique festival of wheels. The 2027 program puts $200,000 in prize money on the line across burnout and drag racing, with the War in the Desert, Desert Thrash, Dirt Drags and more.

Away from the competition, the event brings Alice Springs to life with street cruising, the Yeperenye Parade, car and bike displays, entertainment and plenty of opportunities to get up close to some of Australia's toughest builds. The Alice Springs Inland Dragway will host the weekend's major motorsport action, while events throughout the town create a festival atmosphere across the Red Centre.

Whether you're there to compete, watch the racing, check out the builds or soak up the atmosphere, Red CentreNATS is a four-day celebration of Australia's car culture.
