Contest: Car Racing
Location: Wanneroo Raceway - Perth, Australia


Everybody loves supercars with glossy exteriors, thrilling speeds, and immaculate engines. There is a great following of supercars among car enthusiasts and fanatics. Australia's Supercars Championship focuses on touring car racing, with its annual Perth round bringing the series to Western Australia.

The competition is currently known as the Bosch Power Tools Perth Super 440, with Bosch Power Tools serving as the title sponsor. Previous editions have carried the Perth SuperNight and Perth SuperSprint names.


History

The modern Supercars Championship traces its roots to the Australian Touring Car Championship. Wanneroo Park hosted its first championship round in 1973, with Allan Moffat winning the inaugural edition. This was the first Australian Touring Car Championship round held in Western Australia.

For decades the event featured daytime racing, but in 2019 the Perth SuperNight introduced championship races under lights at the circuit. The event returned to a daytime format in 2023 and adopted the Super 440 format in 2025.


Venue and Track

The event is held at Wanneroo Raceway, located in Neerabup, north of Perth. The circuit measures 2.411 km and features seven turns across its layout. It is also known by its sponsored name, MotorMall Wanneroo Raceway.


Format and Racing Time

The 2026 event ran from July 31 to August 2, with practice on Friday and three races across Saturday and Sunday. The Super 440 name refers to the approximately 440 km of racing across the weekend.

- Saturday: Two 120 km sprint races, each scheduled for 50 laps.
- Sunday: A 200 km feature race, with refuelling adding another element to pit strategy.

Each race has its own qualifying session. Sunday's qualifying is followed by a Top Ten Shootout to determine the first ten starting positions. The 2027 race format and timetable will be confirmed with the event schedule.


2026 Winners

Matt Payne was the leading driver at the 2026 Perth Super 440, winning two of the three races in his Grove Racing Ford Mustang. Broc Feeney won the other race for Triple Eight Race Engineering, also driving a Ford Mustang.

- Race 23, August 1: Matt Payne won ahead of Ryan Wood and Anton De Pasquale.
- Race 24, August 1: Broc Feeney won ahead of Matt Payne and Kai Allen.
- Race 25, August 2: Matt Payne won ahead of Broc Feeney and Anton De Pasquale.

Payne's Sunday victory came despite damage to his left rear wheel, with the New Zealander holding off Feeney by 1.2 seconds after a closely fought battle over pit strategy and track position.

In 2025, Feeney won two of the weekend's three races in a Triple Eight Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Ryan Wood claimed his first Supercars race victory in the opening race of that event.


Past Winners: Drivers

Craig Lowndes leads the historical Perth round-winner records with six wins (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2015, 2016). Peter Brock follows with five wins (1978, 1979, 1981, 1990, 1997).

Other notable multiple round winners include Allan Moffat, Jamie Whincup, and Scott McLaughlin, each with three victories. McLaughlin won three consecutive rounds from 2017 to 2019.

Round wins should be distinguished from individual race wins. Lowndes holds the circuit's championship race-win record with 16 victories, including wins in each of his first 12 starts at Wanneroo.


Past Winners: Teams

Dick Johnson Racing, including its DJR Team Penske era, the Holden Racing Team/Walkinshaw operation, and Triple Eight Race Engineering have seven Perth round wins each. Gibson Motorsport and Holden Dealer Team have both secured four victories.


Past Winners: Manufacturers

Holden leads the historical round-win totals with 21, followed by Ford with 18 through the 2026 event. Nissan has three, while Mazda and Chevrolet have two each. The dominance of Holden and Ford highlights their historic rivalry in Australian touring car racing.

The 2026 field featured Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros and Toyota GR Supras, reflecting the championship's newer generation of machinery.


Betting Insights

Perth betting markets tend to reflect the circuit's unique characteristics, with emphasis on qualifying performance and tyre strategy. Teams with strong qualifying pace often hold an advantage due to the track's limited overtaking opportunities.

Tyre compounds, track temperature, recent form and pit stop execution all deserve attention. Safety car interventions can erase a driver's lead and change the value of an early pit stop.

Available markets vary by bookmaker and may include race winner, top three finish, pole position, fastest lap, winning manufacturer, and head-to-head matchups between top drivers. Check whether a market covers an individual race or the weekend as a whole.


Track Strategy & Challenges

Wanneroo Raceway's layout places heavy emphasis on exit speed, especially out of Turn 7 leading onto the main straight. Drivers must balance tyre preservation with aggressive braking through the technical middle sector. The short lap creates frequent traffic, making blue-flag management crucial.

Pit strategy plays a key role in the longer 200 km race. Teams must decide whether to prioritize early undercuts or hold tyres for a late charge. Traffic after a pit stop can be decisive, as the battles between Payne and Feeney demonstrated in 2026.


Notable Moments

The introduction of Supercars night racing in 2019 produced one of the most visually spectacular editions, with glowing brake discs, sparks, and dramatic lighting transforming the event into a fan favorite.

In 2025, Wanneroo became the first circuit to host 100 Australian Touring Car Championship/Supercars races, underlining its long association with the series.


Fun Fact

Wanneroo Raceway is one of the shortest circuits on the Supercars calendar, with the 2026 sprint races scheduled for 50 laps each. The high lap count increases pressure, as even small mistakes can cost several positions.


The Next Perth Event

The next Perth round is expected to take place at Wanneroo Raceway in 2027. Dates have not yet been announced.

The Western Australian Government plans for the new Perth Park circuit on the Burswood Peninsula to host Supercars from 2028. That future venue should be distinguished from Wanneroo, which remains the listed location for the 2027 event.
