New deal for Perth Supercars round

THE Repco Supercars Championship has sealed its place at Wanneroo Raceway for the next two years after striking a new agreement with Tourism WA.

Wanneroo first held ATCC/Supercars Championship action in 1973 and has hosted a total of 44 rounds.

The 2023 Perth SuperSprint, held last month, had represented the final year on the event’s existing contract, but any possible doubts over its future are no more.

“We are thrilled to have struck this new deal with the WA Government, delivered through Tourism WA and the WA Sporting Car Club to race in Perth until at least the end of 2025,” said Supercars CEO Shane Howard.

“This partnership demonstrates the strong commitment of all parties involved to grow the sport in Western Australia.

“It helps us to encourage young West Australian drivers to follow their careers to the top of Australian Motorsport, like current Championship leader Brodie Kostecki and current Bathurst Champion Garth Tander.

“The Wanneroo circuit is steeped in history and is a favourite among fans and drivers alike, so we’re delighted to be able to continue racing there.”

A total of 34,052 fans were reported to have attended the 2023 round.
