About This Event

The AASA 6 Hours of Sandown brings six hour racing back to Sandown for the first time in 23 years, as two three hour races that close the APC Enduro Championship season. Production based cars race at the circuit where the pre Bathurst endurance race began as a six hour event in 1964.

1What to Expect

Two three hour races: The six hours are split into two three hour races, one on Saturday 5 December and one on Sunday 6 December.
The APC Enduro finale: It is round 5 and the last round of the 2026 APC Enduro Championship, after Queensland Raceway, Sydney Motorsport Park and Winton.
Production based cars: APC races production based models, and the organiser expects a big field under the category's open rules.
Six hour history: The last six hour race at Sandown was a warm up for the Bathurst 12 Hour production car race, won by a factory supported Porsche 968 CS.
