We knew that there was potential to build something really special, but I still think the inaugural event exceeded all of our expectations, said Kyle Larson, champion of the 2024 High Limit International. Everyone from the track to the fans to the teams were incredibly welcoming and it was awesome to see how even the Americans back home embraced it on Flo.
I know the Perth and HLR staffs are working hard to take this event to the next level still. We want to create something truly remarkable for the country down there.
