Competitor Entry Costs

Posted on

Attention all competitors

With operating pressures which most Australians are observing in general cost-of-living increases
continue to impact individuals, businesses and all organisations, including sporting organisations.
Motorsport Australia & WAORC are certainly not immune to these challenges and cost pressures to
run events. Added to this is the reality of ongoing and significant increases in our operating costs
over recent years. To meet the challenge of these rising costs, WAORC clubs have decided to
increase our 2024 entry fees.


This increase will be applied at the club’s discretion to all WAORC events from 2024 to a Maximum
of $500 including transponder hire, this is an increase from $435. This also includes the 15% MOTOR
SPORT AUSTRALIA increase from 1st Oct 2023.


Without volunteers, sponsors, and donations to help the events along we end up in this position
having to increase the entry fee to cover costs. Over the last five years the ambulance fee has
increased by approximately 50% alone.


We know this won’t be news you want to hear, and it was not a decision we made lightly. However,
when you consider the significant increases in running costs of these events well, we are left with
little choice but to pass these costs on.
