It will be the busiest weekend for motorsport so far in 2026 with over 20 events on the schedule during Saturday and Sunday, building considerable excitement ahead of next week’s FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2026.
Major occasions such as the Adelaide Motorsport Festival in South Australia headline the list of proceedings to take place, as visitors head to Victoria Park to enjoy fine local food, beer, wine and spirits from local producers while browsing the trade stalls and checking out the hundreds of static car displays.
Major motorsport events scheduled for this weekend will run all over the country. Round 2 of the MRA Series heads to One Raceway, Motorsport Australia Queensland Circuit Racing Championships season opener is at Queensland Raceway, and the WA Off Road Championship is among the featured events this weekend – offering a slot to the Perenjori Classic.
In Victoria, the Phillip Island Auto Racing Club’s ACCESS event will take place at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit, the Historic Rally Association’s George Woods Rally reaches its 46th year, and Westmere Motor Sport hosts Round 2 of the Victorian Motorkhana Championship and Round 1 of the Victorian Khanacross Championship at Westmere Recreation Reserve on both days.
Grassroots khanacross events will run at the Gippsland Car Club, Shepparton & District Car Club, South Eastern Automobile Club of South Australia, and the Holden Sporting Car Club of Queensland.
The Bathurst Light Car Club will also host Round 2 of the NSW Hill Climb Championship on Mount Panorama.
