The schedule for a massive, nine-category programme for the Sydney round of the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships has been revealed.
The Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series and Gulf Western Oils Touring Car Masters seasons both continue at Sydney Motorsport Park while the 2021 VHT S5000 Australian Drivers’ Championship wraps up.
With almost 30 hours of track action from April 30 to May 2, categories running at night include Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge, the MRF Tyres Australian Production Car Series, and the Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series.
Also on the bill are the National Trans Am Series, Radical Australia Cup, and Australian Prototype Series.
Friday’s action runs from 09:00 to 21:45, Saturday’s from 08:30 to 18:55, and Sunday’s from 09:05 to 18:00 (all times local/AEST).
“With nine categories coming to the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships at Sydney Motorsport Park, it’s safe to say there won’t be any shortage of on track action,” said Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships director Michael Smith.
“Together with the Australian Racing Group [owner of TCR, S5000, TCM, National Trans Am], we’re absolutely excited to be returning to Sydney Motorsport Park with various sessions under lights and expect a big crowd in to soak up all the action across the weekend.
“There are plenty of great vantage points for both Saturday and Sunday, so it should be a fantastic weekend.”
While Friday is closed to fans, spectators are welcome on the Saturday and Sunday, with general admission entry $25 per day and corporate packages available.
The event will be broadcast on 7mate and streamed on 7plus.
