The Western Australian government, led by Premier Roger Cook, is collaborating with Supercars Australia to introduce a street race in Burswood Park, Perth for 2026.

The event aims to showcase the state's motorsport community and is expected to draw a crowd of 50,000 per day.

Upgraded roads and permanent facilities will be part of the event, aligning with Perth's goal of becoming a sports and entertainment hub.

The new street race will replace Wanneroo Raceway and could attract the Formula E series, expanding the Supercars Championship Series to 15-16 rounds by 2026.

Local drivers and fans are excited about the accessibility and excitement of a city center street circuit.

Supercars driver Andre Heimgartner is enthusiastic about the opportunity to reach a wider audience.

Further details on this development will be announced soon.
