WINTON Motor Raceway is set to receive new fuel infrastructure as part of a broader collaboration with RaceFuels, which has secured naming-rights sponsorship for the 2026 Winton Festival of Speed.
Now titled the RaceFuels Winton Festival of Speed, the partnership represents a key milestone in the relationship between the fuel supplier, Winton Motor Raceway, and the historic racing community.
A cornerstone of this partnership will be the unveiling of RaceFuels’ brand-new permanent fuel infrastructure facilities at the Victorian venue.
The investment includes the installation of new fuel tanks for RaceFuels 98 RON, E-85 and Elf Race 102, as well as new bowsers and a 24/7 payment terminal, which will be located near the ‘new’ pit lane entry.
The self-service facility is scheduled to be fully operational in time for the RaceFuels Winton Festival of Speed, which is set for July 24-26.

“RaceFuels is incredibly excited to join the Winton Festival of Speed as naming-rights sponsor of the festival; it’s always been one of my favourite meetings annually, and it’s certainly one of Winton’s largest,” said Mark Tierney, RaceFuels Director.
“The timing couldn’t align better. We’re pulling the covers off our self-serve refuelling infrastructure at Winton in a few weeks’ time, and what better way to show it all off to the racing community and competitors than at the RaceFuels Winton Festival of Speed weekend.
“This will be a full activation, and our intention is to set up a trade stand next to the new fuel facility down at pit entry. Winton is one of very few circuits which has a view from its fuel compound, so we will be watching some of the most incredible historic racing machines tear around Winton.”
Fans and competitors attending the RaceFuels Winton Festival of Speed can look forward to an array of experiences, with three days of non-stop racing action.
Featuring over 300 of Australia’s most historically significant race cars, the RaceFuels Winton Festival of Speed will blend high-octane history with premium lifestyle sideshows, including luxury glamping, the Brown Brothers Trackside Lounge, and hot-air balloon rides.
Tickets for the Winton Festival of Speed are currently available online.
