THE polesitter for the three Supercars races at this weekend’s OTR SuperSprint will start from the third grid slot at The Bend.
A memo distributed to competitors confirmed the front row will be left vacant due to visibility issues.
It’s similar to a bulletin that was sent out ahead of Round 2 at Albert Park.
“Due to restricted visibility of the start lights from Grid boxes 1 and 2, for Races 20, 21 and 22 the front row of the Grid (Grid boxes 1 and 2) will be left vacant,” read today’s communications.
“The pole Car is to form up in Grid box 3, the Car noted on the issued Grid Sheet in position 2 is to form up in Grid box 4 and each other Car listed on the issued Grid Sheet is to form up in the Grid box 2 positions back from the position noted on the issued Grid Sheet.”
The first of three 20-lap Supercars races will start today at 4:30pm local time (5pm AEST).
