Motor Racing Australia (MRA) has announced its alignment with Motorsport Australia from 2026.
The MRA series has provided a home for grassroots categories including Super TT, Series X3 NSW, Pulsar Racing Series, Alfa Romeo Racing Series, Clubman Series and Mazda MX5 Cup since 2009.
MRA also boasts two respected marquee endurance races, the Wakefield and Sydney 300s, which have both evolved into popular and prestigious endurance races on the motorsport calendar.
Motorsport Australia General Manager Motorsport Operations, David Stuart, welcomed MRA’s move to work with the governing body, and a shared commitment to delivering quality racing experiences.
“This partnership will streamline processes for everyone involved and open the door to new possibilities, including major events in 2026,” Stuart said.
“This signals the beginning of an exciting chapter.”
The 2026 MRA season kicks off at Sydney Motorsport Park at the start of February, with further details about the makeup of categories at each round to be announced in the coming weeks.
MRA Director Terry Denovan said the decision to align with Motorsport Australia simplifies processes for competitors, officials and categories.
“The transition to Motorsport Australia places competitors, officials, and partners within a single national framework for licencing, permits, and event administration,” Denovan said.
“With our calendar evolving, this is a good time to move into the next phase of our growth.”
Through the alignment, MRA competitors will also gain the necessary licence endorsements to race at Mount Panorama, Bathurst. As a result, one of MRA’s core categories Super TT, has been confirmed on the support card for the 2026 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour.
“It’s been a long-time dream of mine to take Super TT to Bathurst, and in 2026 that dream will be realised,” Denovan said.
“Twelve months from now, we want people to say the racing felt seamless and the customer service stepped up again.
“We feel the Motorsport Australia alignment will benefit everyone, but especially our competitors who just want a hassle-free experience when they arrive at the track.”
Following the announcement, competitors and officials event supplementary regulations will reference the Motorsport Australia National Competition Rules and other relevant regulations, while also recognising licencing and accreditation under Motorsport Australia.
