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 on 12 March 2026. The launch brought together sponsors,
media partners, competitors, racing fans, and the public to introduce what promises
to be another exciting year of motorsport across the island.
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 organized 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.
Mr. Prashan Wijayanayake, President of SLARDAR, highlighted the championship’s
significance and the organization’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. With the ongoing support of our sponsors and the
excitement of the racing community, we are confident that the 2026 championship
will reach even greater heights.”
SLARDAR has a proud history that begins in April 1983. For more than forty years,
the organization 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. Each event is expected to attract a strong group of
competitors from across the country in both car and motorcycle categories. Months
of planning go into the championship, with drivers, riders, teams, and organizers
working closely to ensure a high level of competition, safety, and professionalism.
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
