It’s a return to sprint racing in the west, while also marking the first appearance of the new-for-2024 SuperSprint format.
That means two races with a single stop and no refuelling, rather than the three-race format that underpinned the SuperSprint weekends last year.
The grid for both of those races will be set by three-part, knock-out qualifying sessions.
There are a number of fascinating storylines heading into the weekend, led by the battle for the title between Triple Eight teammates Will Brown and Broc Feeney.
Brown overhauled Feeney in a thrilling second race in New Zealand last time out to stake his claim as a very real threat to the 2024 Supercars crown.
Triple Eight vowed to investigate just why Brown was the quicker of the two in that Sunday race in Taupo – what did they find? And what will that mean in Perth?
Dick Johnson Racing enjoyed a resurgence in form in NZ and the trip to Perth will offer some insight into whether the turnaround is real, or was a flash in the pan.
The same can be said about Brad Jones Racing, which was a winner on the Saturday in NZ with Andre Heimgartner following a tough start to the season.
There will continue to be a focus on Brodie Kostecki as well as he re-embeds himself in Supercars. He will also race in his hometown of Perth for the first time as a Supercars champion.
