2026 Flying Horse Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic

Sungold Stadium · Warrnambool, Australia23–25 Jan 2026Weekend

About This Event

Australia's premier sprintcar meeting since 1973 — three nights of dirt oval racing at Premier Speedway, Warrnambool, run mid-summer when the North American season is dormant. Open to all comers, the Classic regularly fields over 100 winged 410-cubic-inch cars — the largest entry list in world sprintcar racing.

What to Expect

Three nights of top-level sprintcar racing at one of Victoria's best-known dirt tracks.

What makes it worth the trip:

  • High-stakes racing with a $60,000 winner's prize announced for 2026.
  • Full event programme: preliminary qualifying nights, Classic Breakfast and a Fan Appreciation Day.
  • Strong local support and easy access from Warrnambool; the event is promoted as a major regional attraction.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early on the first night to catch qualifying heat races and use the Fan Appreciation Day to meet drivers and learn the schedule. Plan accommodation in Warrnambool in advance for the long weekend and check PremierSpeedway.com.au for nomination and ticket details before you travel.

Good to know:

  • Event is officially sanctioned by Speedway Australia and the SCCA; entry and supplementary regulations are published by the promoter.
  • Precise ticketing and session times are on the venue website; avoid assuming exact prices without checking the official site.

Is This Event Right For You?

  • Great if you want focused sprintcar racing with a significant winner's prize.
  • Great if you enjoy regional motorsport weekends with fan events and driver access.
  • Great if you like compact three-night programmes that include qualifying, main events and community activities.
  • Maybe skip if you prefer large international circuits or household-name touring categories.

Cost Breakdown

Expect standard nightly admission (published listings show adult tickets from around AUD 37 per night). Camping at the venue is not allowed; budget for nearby accommodation and food at on‑site vendors or local cafes.
