Motorsport Australia supports state racing calendar through expanded national platform, the Motorsport Australia Nationals.
Under the leadership of Motorsport Events Manager David Mori, and with the support of experienced event and category manager Liam Curkpatrick, the Motorsport Australia Nationals will deliver a fully coordinated events calendar designed to streamline participation and make it easier for clubs and circuits across the country to host and compete in motorsport events more often.
“The Nationals provides national-level categories with a safe, well-organised series of events for competitors to race in, while also supporting event promoters by offering coordinated access to these categories within existing or stand-alone events,” said Mori.
“Importantly, it provides promoters with a platform that is controlled, sound and financially viable.”
David Stuart, General Manager of Motorsport Operations at Motorsport Australia said Mori’s world-class credentials as a race director and event manager will be integral to the success of the Nationals.
“In 2026 the Nationals brings a bigger platform that delivers more event options, broadcast packages and more opportunities for categories to experience some of the best circuits around the country,” said Stuart.
Mori and Curkpatrick are currently working with circuits and clubs to establish a flexible calendar that meets the needs of circuits, clubs and individual categories.
The collaboration between Motorsport Australia, participating clubs, and track owners is essential to the sustainable growth of motorsport and building an environment where competitive racing can thrive at every level of the sport.
Glenn Matthews, CEO of the Australian Racing Drivers Club, welcomes the renewed focus, confirming that the 2026 calendar includes running events at Sydney Motorsport Park.
“The ARDC looks forward to supporting greater participation through the Motorsport Australia Nationals,” said Matthews.
The Nationals platform plays an important role in assisting grassroots participation while supporting existing events and state-level participation.
The 2026 Motorsport Australia Nationals calendar will be released soon.
