2026 Motorvation

Australia’s largest street-car festival returns to Perth Motorplex for three days of burnouts, cruising, racing and show cars as Motorvation celebrates its 40th anniversary. The program includes a dedicated burnout pad, show-and-shine displays, super cruises, camping and racing under ANDRA rules.

Organised by Out There Productions Major Events Pty Ltd, the event runs 30 January–1 February 2026 at Perth Motorplex with event details and contacts listed on the official site.

A concentrated dose of Australian car culture with hands-on action, loud soundtrack and big crowds.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Full-on burnout pad action and timed competitions under ANDRA standards.
• Large show car line-up and organised super cruises that let you see vehicles up close.
• On-site camping and evening entertainment that turn it into a weekend festival.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early for prime parking and show-car viewing, book camping through the organiser if you want an on-site stay, and follow the event timetable for specific burnout and cruise runs. Bring ear protection for close-up burnout viewing and a shaded spot for long daytime sessions.

Good to know:

• All competitive runs and vehicle scrutineering operate to ANDRA safety and competition regulations.
• Official schedules, tickets and camping information are published on the Motorvation website.

• Great if you want high-adrenaline burnout shows and competitive runs.
• Great if you enjoy close-up access to show cars and street-cruises.
• Great if you like a festival atmosphere with camping and live music.
• Maybe skip if you prefer quiet, family-focused car shows without loud motorsport action.
