Brisbane Airport Corporation has launched the AutoMall – a massive new test track for new cars, car yards and car-industry businesses - on a 50-hectare site at the Airport.

It is being pitched as pitched as the Queensland site to launch new car models, for driver-training programs, car yards and new car fleet launches.

Brisbane Airport will expand into a new kind of vehicle with plans for a 50-hectare auto mall.

The test track has been designed by V8 Supercar champion Mark Skaife, who has won Australia's premier road race – the Bathurst 1000 six times – and is a five-time winner of the V8 Super car Championship series.

Brisbane Airport Corporation is looking for a joint venture partner to develop the "Australian first" concept, chief executive officer Julieanne Alroe said on Wednesday.
