THE track schedule has been set for the first Gold Coast Supercars round since 2019.
A diverse mix of categories will support the Repco Supercars Championship, namely S5000, Porsche Carrera Cup Australia and V8 SuperUtes.
It will be S5000’s first competitive hitout on the streets of Surfers Paradise, in what is the first leg of a shortened 2022 Tasman Series.
As for the Supercars component, it’s the first time since 2009 that the street circuit has hosted a single-driver round.
Gold Coast was an enduro event throughout the entire 2010s before missing the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After a pair of Friday practice sessions, the format for Saturday and Sunday will be identical: a 20-minute qualifying followed by a Top 10 Shootout and a 250km (85-lap) race.
