Wanneroo gone from 2026
I see the boffins at Supercars have sucked in the W.A. Government too now. Wanneroo off the calendar in 2026 in favour of a Perth street race

Sure is, did you miss the media releases from Supercars?

There are Supercar drivers who weren't born when Supercars last raced there. |

Phillip Island was meant to happen in 2021 but doesn't seem to feature in current discussions (at least publicly). QR was a regular, with money from the state govt & then council, organised by supercars. John Tetley refused to have a CAMS track licence so supercars trucked in safety infrastructure from the goldie each year to run its race meeting and also the shannons nationals under a CAMS track licence & permits. Tony Quinn now owns QR and has said he doesn't want supercars there until he's got the track to where he wants it to be - so quite possible (likely?) that QR will be back on the supercars calendar soon. Wanneroo looks like it has limited time left, although of course has only just had this year's event. It may well get dispensation as part of any street race deal. Winton, Trev would know better than us (if he's still involved). |

another permanent track thrown aside by Supercars.
IF the Governments collectively get ****ed off enough and tell Supercars no more street races, then the permanent tracks should tell them to bugger off too |

The time it takes to get any infrastructure built in Perth at the moment, especially roads, 18 months to have it ready is fanciful. |

2026 seems a pipe dream, I would be guessing 2027 or 28 sounds more feasible at the moment. However stranger things have happened. |

It's not even Barbagallo Raceway anymore. Now It is CARCO.com.au Raceway. (yes, that is how the capital letters are) Rolls off the tongue doesn't it?
Wanneroo needs the track to be extended to the north similar to what they did at Winton in the late 90's. 2.4 kays with seven corners just doesn't cut it for the big circus that is Supercars, but I wish they would consider anything other than a street race. The new circuit at Albany is also too small and is too far from Perth. Maybe they should consider the Collie Motorplex. Screenshot 2024-08-06 063810.png |

Even a brand new track will not attract Supercars, remember 'The Bend' is off the calendar this year too
