Description

Lake Perkolilli is a clay pan. It was the location of racing of motorcycles and cars in the 1920s and 1930,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and of Silver Wings races in the 1930s.[11]

Despite the relocation of motor racing to other locations in Western Australia, racing at the lake bed was restarted in 2019 under the name Lake Perkolilli Red Dust Revival,[12][13] following a trial event in 2014.[14] Further Revival events have since been held in 2022[15][16] and 2025.[14][17][18]
