About This Event

Run on Australia's tightest sprint circuit since 1969 — Symmons Plains' 2.4km anti-clockwise layout carved into sheep grazing countryside near Launceston. Three Supercars races across the weekend: twin 120km sprints and a 200km refuelling race, with drafting battles down the long back straight and hard braking into Brambles Hairpin defining the venue.

4Frequently Asked Questions

  • Best fit if you value championship midpoints: Round 5 of 13-round Repco Supercars Championship, early-season positioning critical, twin milestone races with Race 15 marking 100th ATCC/Supercars race at venue.
  • Best fit if you enjoy sprint racing formats: Super 440 features twin 120km Saturday sprints plus 200km Sunday refuelling race, V8 SuperUtes, Aussie Racing Cars, Touring Car Masters, Tasmanian Tin Tops support categories.
  • Best fit if you value motorsport heritage: Symmons Plains becomes second venue in championship history to host 100 races, continuous ATCC/Supercars presence since 1969 except 2000-2003 circuit upgrade hiatus.
  • Not ideal if you prefer varied circuit layouts: 2.411km anti-clockwise circuit features extremely tight Brambles Hairpin after long back straight, hard on brakes with two big hits within 30 seconds, technical challenge rather than multiple elevation changes or high-speed variety.
