Nominations are now open for induction in the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame as the Australian Motorsport Council prepares to celebrate the milestone 100th inductee at the 2026 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne.

The Hall of Fame recognises high achievers from two and four-wheel motorsport, honouring individuals whose significant achievements and contributions have helped to shape the sport.

Nominations are now open to the general public on the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame website.

John Smailes, Chair of the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame Committee, is looking forward to welcoming a new batch of inductees next year.

“The Hall of Fame was instituted in 2016 to preserve the stories, triumphs and innovations that define motorsport’s heritage,” Smailes said.

“Motor racing is one of the few sports in which Australians have consistently reached the top on the world stage.

“Legends such as Sir Jack Brabham, Alan Jones, Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Casey Stoner headline the remarkable Australians who have become world champions and household names.

“The Hall of Fame exists to inspire the next generation of competitors, engineers, officials and fans.”

The Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame committee has revised its candidate criteria, with no more than five inductees expected in 2026.

Nominations are now open and will close on Thursday 31 July 2025.
