WesBank Raceway, Sports venue in South Africa

WesBank Raceway was a motorsport park in Germiston, Gauteng, built on the grounds of the former Gosforth Park horse racing track. It comprised a 2,700-metre circuit, a shorter road course, a 1 km oval and a motocross track. The oval and road course hosted rounds of SASCAR, a South African variant of NASCAR. The site closed in November 2007 and became an industrial park.

Peter Lindenberg, a South African powerboat champion and racing driver, initiated the circuit, which opened on 26 July 2003 on the site of a former horse racing track in Gosforth Park. WesBank, part of the investor group, sold the property in early 2007 for 130 million rand, and the raceway closed in November 2007. An industrial park was later built on the grounds.

The name WesBank came from the South African credit institution that belonged to the track's investor group.

The raceway stood in Gosforth Park in Germiston, east of Johannesburg, on the site of a former horse racing track. It closed in November 2007 and an industrial park was later built on the land, so there is no circuit to visit today.

The 2,700-metre circuit, a 1 km oval and a motocross track stood on the grounds of Gosforth Park, a former horse racing course. The site was later redeveloped as an industrial park, so nothing of the raceway remains. The name came from WesBank, a South African credit institution that belonged to the track's investor group.
