Northern Territory Major Events Company CEO, Tim Watsford added, “The drivers and teams are all here, and all raring to go.
“These events will be unique in the history of Supercars in Darwin.
“We will definitely see someone lift the BetEasy Darwin Triple Crown on 16 August, due to a change in format, and we have an entire second weekend of racing to look forward to.
“It’s been quite a journey to get here due to the many challenges thrown up by COVID-19.
