The WA Sporting Car Club is back in action with its September race meeting to take place at Wanneroo Raceway on Saturday.
 
After the successful inclusion of spectators at its meeting in August, the club will once again welcome motorsport fans from around the region to attend the event.
 
This weekend will mark the fourth time the club has held a race meeting since COVID-19 restrictions were eased across the state, and once again more than 100 drivers across seven different categories have entered.
 
Leading the way with the largest field is the Saloon Cars, with 23 entrants to do battle across three races. Series leader Grant Johnson headlines the field and will be looking to extend his healthy 57 point lead over Matthew Martin, while PRO-AM class leader Marc Watkins will be fighting off challenges from the likes of Mike Holdcroft.
