Supercars lands new Perth deal until 2025

Perth will remain on the Supercars championship calendar until at least 2025 thanks to a new deal between the series and the West Australian government.

Supercars has signed a two-year extension with the state government that will see Wanneroo Raceway continue to host the Perth SuperSprint.

The circuit has been a regular on the Supercars calendar since the early 1970s.

Previously the event was promoted by the WA Sporting Car Club, which owns and operates Wanneroo Raceway, however more recently Supercars has taken over the promotion, negotiating with the government and then renting the circuit from the club.

"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."

The new Perth deal locks in one piece of the 2024 calendar puzzle as Supercars looks to shore up its schedule.
