The Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers and Riders (SLARDAR) officially launched the BETSS.COM Sri Lanka Super Series 2026 at the DIMO 800 Auditorium in Colombo recently.
This marks the ninth Sri Lanka Super Series organised by SLARDAR. The series has become one of the country’s most respected and popular motor racing championships. It includes a range of professionally organised racing events for both cars and motorcycles, attracting many competitors and showcasing some of the best racing talent in Sri Lanka. Throughout the season, drivers and riders will compete in various formats and terrains (Hill Climb, Gravel & Tarmac), culminating in the crowning of the country’s Best Driver and Rider of the year.
Prashan Wijayanayake, President of SLARDAR, highlighted the championship’s significance and the organisation’s commitment to fostering motorsports in Sri Lanka. He said, “The Sri Lanka Super Series has become one of the most anticipated events on the national motorsport calendar. Each year, we see incredible dedication from drivers, riders, teams, and our valued partners who share our vision of boosting motorsports in Sri Lanka.”
SLARDAR has a proud history that begins in April 1983. For more than forty years, the organisation has played a key role in shaping Sri Lankan motorsports. Over the years, SLARDAR has designed and developed several iconic racing tracks while consistently improving standards within the sport. A notable achievement occurred in 2024 when SLARDAR opened Sri Lanka’s first privately owned racing track, the Mahameruwa Racing Arena in Giriulla. This marked a significant milestone in the development of motorsport infrastructure in the country.
The Sri Lanka Super Series 2026 has an exciting calendar of high-energy events at various locations. The championship began earlier this year with the Mahameruwa Rally Cross (Race 1) in Giriulla on February 7 and 8. Upcoming events include the Single Tree Hill Climb in Nuwara Eliya on April 5 and 6, the Colombo Supercross in Welisara on May 9 and 10, the Cavalry Supercross in Kurunegala on June 27 and 28, the Katukurunda Circuit Meet on September 5 and 6, and the return of the Mahameruwa Rally Cross (Race 2) in Giriulla on October 17 and 18.
The season will conclude with the Sri Lanka Super Series 2026 Awards Night and Dinner Dance in December.
The championship benefits from a solid lineup of sponsors and partners, reflecting the rising status of the series. BETSS.COM serves as the Main Title Sponsor, while BYD is the Official Automobile Partner. Sri Lanka Insurance General acts as the Official Insurance Partner, and PEO SPORTS is the Official Television Partner, with all events broadcast live on PEO Sports and streamed on YouTube and other social media platforms.
