About This Event

The Celebration of Motorsport takes over Langley Park on the Swan River in central Perth for a day, with car displays on the lawn and the Perth City Sprint on Riverside Drive. It is part of Tarmac West, which finishes on the same Riverside Drive course.

1What to Expect

In 2026 there were four displays: Celebration of Motorsport (racing, rally, off road, motocross, drift, motorcycles and vintage and modern cars), Celebration of Street Machines (1949 to 1990) and Hot Rods (1928 to 1948), Shannons Classics on the Swan on the river's edge, and the Ayani Car Collective Auto Picnic.
In 2026 the Perth City Sprint ran in the morning on Riverside Drive and through the Terrace Road car park, with the Tarmac West finale stages in the afternoon on the same course.
Langley Park is flat open lawn with the river on one side and the city skyline on the other, and there are no stands.
The 2027 hours, displays and sprint timetable are not announced yet.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • In 2026 the displays were open to spectators from 10am to 3pm.
  • Shannons Classics on the Swan sits on the river's edge along Riverside Drive, apart from the displays on the lawn.
