Mid-Year Sprint – 28th July 2024

To enter, all you need is a car that meets all the required safety standards for brakes, tyres and seat belts and has a Fire Extinguisher fitted.

The Driver and Co-Driver will obviously need helmets and a minimum of neck to wrist to ankle non-flammable clothing and fully enclosed shoes (although higher standards, including driving suits and frontal head restraints, are strongly recommended). A minimum of a Motorsport Australia Speed Licence is required for both Driver and Co-Driver. See the Supp Regs on the Official Noticeboard page for more information.

At only $235 per entry, it is a great motorsport value with four runs over the 3.25 km Special Stage. Held mid-week on a Thursday night, it does not eat into your valuable weekend time.

The Shannons Rallysprint Series is designed to cater for drivers with a wide range of skills and experience, from novices to those preparing for the WA’s premier tarmac event.

Drivers and Co-Driver have their acceleration, braking, handling and teamwork skills tested as they navigate their way around the track against the clock.

Competitors

The Shannons Rallysprint Series is a series of 6 Rallysprints held over the summer months.

A Rallysprint, as defined by Motorsport Australia, is for a Driver and Co-Driver competing in a Tarmac or Gravel Rally Car.

Cars compete against the clock at 20-second intervals over an approx 3.5km on the same course based at the Perth Motorplex. An ample opportunity is provided to perform a reconnaissance lap before doing four timed runs.

The event is open to Drivers with a minimum of a Motorsport Australia Speed licence. All cars must meet minimum safety standards and are required to undertake pre-event scrutiny. Whilst a ‘roll cage’ and ‘harnesses’ are not mandatory, they are very strongly recommended.

On the Official Noticeboard page is further information, including the Supplementary Regulations. We encourage any prospective competitors to get in touch with us if they have any queries.

Entry is limited, so don’t delay, get your Entry Form completed online now.

ENTRY IS FREE FOR SPECTATORS

The Motorplex has ample parking, and entry is free.

The pit area is open for spectators to mingle with the competitors and get up close and personal with the cars and crews. There are also Coffee and Food vans available.

There are several fantastic locations to watch the rally action, including the bridge at the top of the Drag Strip or over near the Main Motorplex Entrance, affectionately known as the “keyhole”, or even the start or finish area.

The action starts at 6 pm and is normally wrapped up by 9.00 pm.

The only thing we do ask is that Spectators park in the Eastern lane of the pits to allow the other areas to be utilised by competitors and their service crews.
