The Tasmanian Government is a proud supporter of Race Tasmania with funding now secured for the event for a further two years in 2024 and 2025.
The new agreement provides support for Race Tasmania to occur at Symmons Plains, as well as at Baskerville Raceway on the outskirts of Hobart.
The funding of $1 million over two years will also support delivery of Drive Tasmania - a new destination touring initiative to attract members of car clubs to Tasmania to attend Race Tasmania and undertake curated activities including track days in the week between both races.
''Investing in Race Tasmania ensures the State provides motorsport content of the highest national level,'' Premier Jeremy Rockliff said.
''Events like Race Tasmania add great value to our visitor economy and support Tasmania's vision towards becoming the events capital of Australia.
''Thousands of visitors make their way to our State for this event, often staying on in Tasmania to explore all we have to offer.
''The economic benefits not only flow directly into Tasmania, but also onto other parts of the State, including accommodation providers, towns, and businesses,'' Premier Rockliff said.
Race Tasmania in 2023 will involve several national and state level championships on the one bill to be held here at Symmons Plains Raceway from 24-26 February.
Race Tasmania will be the 2023 season launch for the ARG Speed Series of events and Australia's first national race event for the year.
The season's opening round will also attract strong national media coverage with new drivers and sponsors joining the series as well as new car liveries.
