Formula 500s Western Australia Inc. has today officially released its 2026/27 Senior calendar, with competitors set for a 18-night campaign that spans seven months, visits eight different speedways and includes opportunities for drivers to also travel to some of the biggest events on the Australian speedway calendar.
Beginning with Powerpalooza at the Perth Motorplex on October 24, the season offers a mix of huge events, featuring the return of the popular West Coast Series, round of the Perth Motorplex Track Championships and the prestigious WA State Championship.
The opening month sees the Formula 500s feature prominently at the Perth Motorplex, with the opening Powerpalooza event followed by the first two Fast Friday meetings and a regular appearance at the King of Wings on November 14.
The category then takes a break in WA to allow those who want to, to head interstate for Napa in the City at South Australia's Napa Speedway from November 26-29 before returning home for Fast Friday 3 on December 4.
The annual West Coast Series begins at Moora Speedway on December 5 before travelling across the state throughout the summer. Rounds will then be contested at Esperance Speedway (January 23), Kalgoorlie Speedway (February 27), Albany Speedway (March 6), Margaret River Speedway (March 26) and Geraldton Speedway (April 17), ensuring competitors experience some of Western Australia's finest regional venues.
January also sees drivers able to head to Victoria for the Australian Formula 500 Championship at Avalon Speedway from January 7-9, one of the biggest meetings on the national calendar and an opportunity for WA's best to test themselves against the country's elite.
Back in Perth, the Formula 500s will feature at the Sprintcar Muster on January 2 before appearing during the prestigious Mr Sprintcar Nationals weekend on February 5 and 6, followed by the ever-popular Krikke Boys Shootout on February 12 and 13, which will once again double as the prestigious Team Ando Johnny Andersson Classic.
The season reaches its climax at the 68th WA Formula 500 Championship, to be hosted by Bunbury Speedway across April 2-3. Friday night will feature practice and the traditional Calcutta before the State's best battle for championship honours on Saturday night. It marks just the second occasion Bunbury has solely hosted the prestigious event, and the first since the 2014/15 season.
Following the State Title, competitors return to the Perth Motorplex for Fast Friday 4 on April 9 and the venue's Speedway Grand Final on April 10 before concluding the campaign with the final round of the West Coast Series at Geraldton Speedway on April 17.
