THE formats for all four upcoming Repco Supercars Championship rounds at Sydney Motorsport Park have been revealed.
Supercars will run on four consecutive weekends at the Western Sydney venue from October 29-31 following a lengthy hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first three events will each feature a trio of 125km races, including a compulsory pitstop for tyres, while two 250km races will make up the fourth events, which adds refuelling to the mix.
A total of five of the 11 scheduled races will take place at night while different tyre formats will also be deployed, as detailed below.
All four events will take place on the 3.9km Gardner GP Circuit layout.
