Event Details
This year's Bosch Power Tools Perth SuperSprint follows the sold out debut for Supercars at Taupō in New Zealand earlier this month.
Next month’s trip to Western Australia is expected to draw its own large crowd, with local fans expected to cheer on Perth’s homegrown defending Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki on home soil for the first time since he won his maiden title and became just the second WA-born driver to win a Supercars’ driver crown.
The Ballajura product put his name on the radar as a true championship contender with his performance in Perth in 2023, where he went door-to-door with three-time Supercars and Bathurst 1000 champion Shane van Gisbergen in the race of the season.
Kostecki walked away with three podium finishes from all three races of the event to set up his run at the 2023 crown.
The 26-year-old made a solid return to racing in New Zealand, and the #1 Erebus TFH Camaro driver is looking to return to the winners’ circle at CARCO.com.au Raceway from May 17-19.
Kostecki is one of three local drivers that fans will be barracking for in Perth. Rookie Aaron Love will make his Repco Supercars Championship home debut at the Wanneroo circuit, while adopted Perth resident and NZ race winner Andre Heimgartner is looking to continue the form that saw him claim an emotional victory in Taupō.
This year's event will be the 45th time the Australian Touring Car Championship/Repco Supercars Championship has visited the Western Australian permanent circuit.
The WA venue holds the mantle as the circuit to have hosted the most races in Supercars/ATCC history, and in 2024 will rack up races 96 and 97.
The combined Dunlop Super2 and Super3 Series will return to Perth in 2024, a fan-favourite series where the best up and coming drivers in Australia and NZ battle it out in ZB Commodores and Ford Mustangs.
Three other support categories will make up a packed line up for fans to watch on track including the popular Touring Car Masters Series, Aussie Racing Cars and Radical Cup Australia Series.
Red Bull Ampol Racing teammates Will Brown and Broc Feeney won two of the three races in Perth in 2023, and lead the Repco Supercars Championship heading into the trip across the Nullarbor. Brown is 71 points clear of his teammate heading to Races 9 and 10 of the season.
All ticketing options including corporate, grandstand and general admission for the Perth SuperSprint are available through Supercars.com.
