Hi-Tec Oils Mallala Homecoming
‘Motorsport is Coming Home’ with National competition returning to Mallala Motorsport Park for the first time in over a decade.
Trico TransAm will headline Hi-Tec Oils Homecoming on November 21-22, 2025 for a Friday and Saturday day/night spectacular at the famed South Australian venue, acting as a curtain raiser to the Adelaide Grand Final weekend.
Alongside the return of the thunderous V8 sedans will be a host of fan favourites, led by Formula Ford with Homecoming marking their annual 1600 National Challenge weekend.
In 2025 the iconic South Australian circuit will welcome back national competition for the first time in over a decade, with the on-track product from TransAm just one part of what will be a celebratory weekend, welcoming a new era of the famed venue.
Mallala has a storied history, the 2.61-kilometre circuit’s origins dating back as far as 1961. After a brief tenure on the sidelines Mallala reopened for car racing in 1982, and the circuit has become a staple for both local and national racing ever since.
The Hi-Tec Oils Mallala Homecoming marks the culmination of a focused campaign from The Bend to bring Mallala Motorsport Park back to its former glory and a staple on the national motorsport calendar.
More information will be released in the coming weeks, including a full summary of on and off-track activities, live music and entertainment across the two days.
Tickets are just $30 per day with trackside camping also available.

National Championship V8 racing returns to Mallala bringing back American-style race vehicles such as Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros and Dodge Challengers to South Australia’s home of motorsport. Competitors include former Supercars stars such as Todd Hazelwood and James Moffat, who will really showcase their skill behind the wheel as all drivers race vehicles with the same control chassis and components.

Drivers and teams will be tested to their limits by having to turn their cars around quickly to line up in Adelaide – with the stress levels and added trophy incentive sure to add to the spice of the weekend’s racing.
