Perth Motorplex sets new burnout event attendance record

Over 7,000 fans attended 2020 Burnout Boss, the first event of the Motorplex season at the Perth Motorplex, last Saturday (17th October) - the venue's highest ever attendance for a burnout event.

The first major event to be held at the venue since the early conclusion of the 2019/20 season due to COVID-19, 2020 Burnout Boss saw 147 competitors attend.

Over the last two years, the event has seen between 2,000 and 3,000 fans.

Dragsters and speedway fans are in for an exciting season of upcoming events with such events as ANDRA Drag Racing Test N Tune this Sunday (25th October), Formula Tech Performance on 28th October and Summer Slam Series Opener on 7th November.

Advising that all events held at Perth Motorplex and VenuesWest operated locations have, and will continue, to be prepared under current COVID-19 restrictions and maintain strict and safe capacity limits, Western Australian Sport and Recreation Minister, Mick Murray stated “what an achievement for Perth Motorplex and the team to have broken such a record at the start of the season.

"Such high attendances have been made possible by the freedoms enjoyed by Western Australians thanks to the State's hard border - with the 7,000 spectators almost double that of the 4,000 daily attendance cap of the 2020 Bathurst 1000 held in NSW last week.

"This milestone was achieved through the delivery of world-class sprint events at the state's premier motor sport facility, with quality staff working at the helm.

"I look forward to another successful year of racing and events at WA's best motorsports facility as well as announcing the appointment of a new venue operator very soon."
