Australia’s top Hill Climb competitors will converge on Western Australia this spring, with the Motorsport Australia Hill Climb Championship to take place at Jack’s Hill, located within MotorMall Wanneroo Raceway, from 30-31 October.
Hosted by the WA Sporting Car Club, the event brings the country’s premier Hill Climb event to one of Australia’s most technically demanding and historic venues.
The Championship will feature a diverse field of competitors across multiple classes, from highly modified specials to production-based machines.
Drivers will tackle the tight, flowing layout of Jack’s Hill, where precision and mechanical grip are critical, in contrast to high speeds.
Motorsport Australia State and Competition Racing Manager Bruce Astbury is excited to see the national championship return to Australia’s western-most state.
“It’s fantastic to see the Motorsport Australia Hill Climb Championship return to Western Australia and to a venue as iconic and technically demanding as Jack’s Hill,” Astbury said.
“The combination of a challenging layout and the calibre of competitors we expect will make for an exceptional showcase of competition.”
“We’re looking forward to working with WA Sporting Car Club to deliver a memorable event for both competitors and fans on the back of a great 2025 edition of this respected event.”
Jack’s Hill has long held a special place in Australian motorsport, particularly in Western Australia. Originally developed as a challenging Hill Climb course adjacent to Wanneroo Raceway, it has built a reputation for testing even the most experienced drivers.
With a mix of elevation changes and technical corners, the course offers a true showcase of driver skill and specifically caters to the difficulty expected from experienced competitors.
The return of a national-level Hill Climb event to Western Australia highlights a historic moment for the state’s motorsport landscape, with Jack’s Hill hosting the annual event for the first time since 2015, won by Australian Hill Climb legend Malcolm Oastler (his second of five championship wins).
WA Sporting Car Club President Russell Sewell states the club is one of Australia’s oldest and most respected motorsport organisations, boasting a proud history of hosting major events at Wanneroo Raceway.
“Our experience and local knowledge as a club here at Wanneroo ensures the championship will be delivered to the highest standard, both competitively and operationally,” Sewell said.
“Fans attending the event can expect close competition and a wide variety of vehicles such as lightweight open-wheelers to powerful tin-top racers.”
With competitors given multiple runs to set their fastest time, the format guarantees continuous action and dramatic improvements as drivers push the limits.
The Motorsport Australia Hill Climb Championships at Jack’s Hill promises to be a standout event on the national motorsport calendar.
Further details will be announced at a later date on the Motorsport Australia Hill Climb Championship site.
