Motorsports
fans will enjoy at least two more years of Supercars Championship racing in
Perth through a new sponsorship deal with the Western Australian Government.
The agreement will
mean that Supercars will continue to race at the historic Wanneroo circuit in
the Perth SuperSprint for a minimum of two more annual Supercars Championship
events.
The Perth
SuperSprint event is part of the national Supercars Championship and is the
biggest annual motorsport event on Western Australia's events calendar.
This new
sponsorship deal is proudly supported by the WA Government and delivered
through Tourism WA, Supercars and the WA Sporting Car Club.
This year, the
Perth SuperSprint attracted WA star racer Brodie Kostecki and other top drivers
like Shane van Gisbergen, Chaz Mostert and Cameron Waters.
The sport
continues to grow in popularity with attendance figures jumping by more than
12,000 compared to last year's event, with the 2023 Perth SuperSprint estimated
to have injected millions of dollars into the local economy.
The popular three-day
event also boosts local businesses through the tens of thousands of attendees
it attracts, with more than 34,000 motorsports fans witnessing the action at
this year's event.
The Perth
SuperSprint has been a regular part of the Supercars Championship under various
names since 1973, and has been supported by the WA Government, through Tourism
WA, since 2011.
