The championship brings together two leading drivers from each state to compete in a series of heats, with drives drawn at random.

Suvaljko will wear WA’s black and gold colours for the third time, proud to once again compete on the national stage.

“It’s a great honour to represent Western Australia against the best around Australia. To meet more owners, trainers and drivers is a privilege,” Suvaljko said

Roberts returns for her second consecutive year, following a third-place finish in Adelaide last year.

“I’m very proud to be representing my state for the second year in a row. I had a great time last year driving against the best in our country and I hope to go a few better this year,” Roberts said.

With WA’s proven record and two experienced drivers in the mix, the state will be aiming for another strong showing in Hobart.

The one-day series is set for daytime, Sunday December 21 and will comprise of a minimum of six heats on the day.
