The original Wanneroo Park, also known as Wanneroo Raceway, Barbagello Raceway and most recently CARCO.com.au Raceway, is of social and historical significance as one of only two permanent racing circuits in Western Australia. It attracts considerable crowds of sports fans for the Australian championships and many other events that are hosted at the site.
The expansive site is overseen by several relatively low-level stadiums to view the race events. The entire site provides all the relevant facilities for the safe function of the place and the events.
Now known as CARCO.com.au Raceway, it is a 2.411 kilometre long motorsport facility with 7 turns. It is one of two permanent racing circuits in Western Australia and has been operating continuously since March 1969. It is the home of Western Australia's premier motorsport complex, hosting a range of racing including motorcycles, formula Ford's, saloons, drifts, and historic and touring cars. It hosts the Perth round of the V8 Supercars Australia Championship and the Perth round of the Australian Superbike Championship. The raceway also holds car events, driver education and facilitates the local police department’s use for training new recruits. The track is used by the MCRCWA for State championship events and tuning days. The entire track was resurfaced in time for the 2019 season with the addition of a new 'bus stop' chicane at Turn 3 for use during motorcycle meetings. The circuit was originally known as Wanneroo Park, later as Barbagallo Raceway, followed by Wanneroo Raceway.
