The Australian Defence Force will demonstrate its capabilities at the BP Adelaide Grand Final from 27-30 November 2025 in the final round of the Repco Supercars Championship.

In a first for this event, a Royal Australian Air Force P-8A Poseidon will conduct a flypast over Victoria Park, highlighting the advanced multi-mission maritime patrol fleet based at RAAF Base Edinburgh.

Spectators will also see a demonstration of the skills and expertise of Air Force’s aviators with aerial displays from a No. 75 Squadron F-35A Lightning II and an Air Force Central Flying School PC-21 Pilatus.

On the ground, the public can see Team Army’s vehicles, the Australian Army Band and discover the wide range of career options available in the ADF.
