Wa Motorsport Events

Hi,

Are there any Western Australia race events that a commoner such as myself can participate in? Where abouts can I go to have a run on a curcuit or such? What do I need to participate or race on the tracks?

I hear that over east you have CAMS licences? Anything like that here?

I'd really like to hear from some other WA members that have been or are going, meet some people would be good.

cams is australia wide

you need to be part of a cams car club to get a cams licenses. Have alook at WASCCA (i think the website is wascca.com.au)

There are other things over in W.A. as well.

There is the sprint and autotest championships at AHG near the airport. http://www.dtec.com.au/mc-motorsport/car-clubs.htm

Other than Wanaroo there is also the other track down at Collie. http://www.motoringsouthwest.org.au/ I'll be down there for the sprint day on July 1st with a bunch of other blokes into motorsport.

You also have a stack of great hill climbs. Jacks Hill Climb, Mt Ommanny both of which make up part of the Speed Event Series that runs every year. http://www.speedeventseries.com/

And finally - here is a good resource list of what is coming up. http://www.driveline.net.au/events.php

Given you are in Esperence the closest/easiest events will probably be in Albany.

On the long weekend just gone (Foundation day) there was the Mt Clarence Hiil Climb & the Albany wind farm hillclimb. Additionally there was a motorkharna.

Check the www.speedeventseries.com website & calender for WA's statewide based hillclimb & supersprint championship which is predominantly organised by the WASCC.

Collie motorplex is a long haul from Esperence & to be honest not much closer than Wanneroo.

Grab yourself a level 2 Cams licence with a car club membership (You need both) & you can then enter a heap of things...
