Circuit Racing Categories

The WA Sporting Car Club is the primary circuit racing organiser in Western Australia and conducts all the circuit racing events at CARCO.com.au Raceway.

All race meets are held as part of the WA Sporting Car Club Championship and are run under Motorsport Australia rules and regulations. Each of the categories has its own set of regulations, further to the Motor Race Championship Regulations and the WASCC Motor Racing Championships – Standing Regulations.

If you would like to participate in Circuit Racing, we suggest the following steps as a way to adjust yourself and your car to our circuit:

• Attend a Come and Try Day
• Join the WA Sporting Car Club
• Work out what category your car fits in
• Contact the representative club 
• Obtain a Motorsport Australia Speed License
• Attend Members Only Test and Tune Days
• When you’re almost ready to race, obtain a Circuit Racing licence from Motorsport Australia

Below is a quick summary of the categories that compete in WA, along with links on where to find further information. It’s always a good idea to come to a race meet and chat with the category racing association members of the category you are interested in and of course the WA Sporting Car Club office is more than happy to help you with any information or getting you in touch with them.

If you consider buying and racing a vehicle not from the following list of categories, it is worth checking before purchasing to ensure that it will fit into one of the existing WA racing categories.
