Wanneroo gone from 2026

[Trevor]

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

Don't think it is locked and loaded yet is it? Will see what happens I guess.

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

Yep - I missed all that, thought it was a heap of "maybe" announcements. Oh well, good luck to them and hopefully Barbagallo (or whatever its called now) gets some financial assistance a la Mallala, then it might just be wins all round.

Won't happen, the tracks that have dropped off the Supecars calendar is 'recent' years:

• Winton
• Phillip Island
• Calder
• Queensland Raceway
• Wanneroo

The top 4 have all had a disagreement with Supercars management over the years

Calder?

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

Yep - Calder was removed from the calendar in 2002 or thereabouts, when Bob refused to pay the sanction fee, went to court, lost & then turned over the company which had the agreement with supercars - plus Calder lost its CAMS track licence because Bob wouldn't do the work needed.

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).
