Racing Next to BYD, Cadillac, Genesis, Hyundai, MG, Polestar and Zeekr

Everything Electric Sydney 2026 set a record: organisers counted 37,421 visitors across three days, with more than 5,300 test drives on 104 vehicles.

The exhibitor list read like the future of the car market – BYD, Cadillac, Chery, Geely, Genesis, GAC, GWM, Hyundai, IM, MG, Omoda Jaecoo, Polestar, Subaru and Zeekr, plus iCaur, Lepas and Forthing showing in Australia for the first time.

In a hall full of electric cars to look at and test drive, VBR Race Zone gave visitors something different: get behind the wheel of a real car, on a real track, with real force feedback. No license. No helmet. No experience needed.

VBR Australia: Brisbane Office and WhipSmart Master Franchise

VBR Race Zone Australia runs on a master franchise agreement with WhipSmart, with VBR's Australian office in Brisbane. Sydney was the first public stage. Event enquiries and location partnerships for Australia now run through Brisbane.

If your brand, venue or event needs more than a stand – this is what Everything Electric visitors lined up for.

What's Next: Permanent VBR Race Zones on the Gold Coast

Sydney is the launch, not the destination. Interest in permanent VBR Race Zone locations on the Gold Coast is already coming in.

Germany got its first VBR Race Zone in Bielefeld. Bratislava and Texas are building right now. Australia just joined the list.

FAQ: VBR Race Zone Australia

Is VBR Race Zone a racing simulator? No. VBR Race Zone is POV Racing: you drive a real car on a real track from a VBR Race Cockpit, with real force feedback and a live camera view from the car.

Is it the same as RC car racing? No. RC car racing means steering a car by remote while watching it from the side. In POV Racing you see the track through the car's own camera – like sitting inside it.

About POV Racing So what do you call this, if it's not a simulator and not an RC car? People search for "RC sim," "sim RC car," "FPV racing" – all close, none of them right. POV Racing is real: a real car, a real track, real force feedback, seen live through the car's own camera. Technically, it's teleoperated racing. But nobody types that into Google. So we call it what it feels like – POV Racing. A category that didn't exist before VBR invented it.
