The Paul Morris Racing Academy is Australia’s leading program to develop and fine tune the skills of racing drivers.
Based on Australia’s Gold Coast the Academy is led by Paul Morris – the only driver to have won the Bathurst Triple Crown outright (Bathurst 1000, the Bathurst 6 and 12 Hours), Australian Touring Car Champion for BMW and 2017 Stadium Super Trucks World Champion.
You will be personally assessed by the Academy’s instructors and your program tailored to your experience and the category you race.
From Supercars Champions such as Shane van Gisbergen and young gun Anton De Pasquale, to international GT racers, through to youngsters transitioning from karts to cars, the Paul Morris Racing Academy is suitable for racers of all levels.
All race drivers looking to hone their skills are encouraged to take part in training with the Paul Morris Racing Academy. The programs draw on Paul’s 30 years in the sport, including racing throughout internationally, Indy Lights in America, Sprintcars, Stadium Super Trucks and Touring Cars.
We encourage you to bring your race engineer to build a closer bond between driver and engineer.
Your practical sessions are overlaid with the data recorded, which is assessed by the Paul Morris Racing Academy instructors. At the end of the course, a full data review with video is conducted between you and your instructor, outlining your strengths and areas for improvement.
Your CAMS license testing can be completed as part of your Paul Morris Racing Academy experience (at cost). Our instructors are accredited CAMS Observed License Test (OLT) evaluators.

- Race start and racing simulation

- Reading and interpreting data
- Car control training

"For every racing driver, amateur to professional, there is always something to improve and time to find. It’s been great to spend time at Norwell Motorplex, not only refining my own skills, but passing my knowledge onto the next generation. Everyone leaves Norwell Motorplex having learnt something but more importantly a smile on their face from an awesome day at the track"
"My first visit to Norwell Motorplex was when I returned from Europe to pursue racing in Australia. Paul guided and trained me with my transition from open wheelers to Supercars which wasn’t easy. Being a part of the team, working closely with Paul and his world class staff in Super2 and training at Norwell Motorplex when we weren’t racing meant I was able to fast track my career and get into Supercars. Still today I use Norwell Motorplex frequently for my own development also coaching and mentoring some of the younger generation coming through. For a racing driver to have access to a facility like Norwell Motorplex is invaluable and a no brainer."
