Townsville to host double-header

By

Supercars has confirmed that Townsville will play host to a double-header as the series works to deal with the ongoing impact of COVID-19.

Reid Park will host the NTI Townsville 500 as planned this weekend, with the WD-40 Townsville SuperSprint then following a week late.

The first meeting will feature two 250km races and three-days of track action, with the second being a two-day, three race SuperSprint.

“Following the success of last year’s inaugural double-header, we know two weeks of racing in Townsville allows us to maximise exposure and competition during these times,” Supercars CEO Sean Seamer said.

“We’d like to thank the Queensland Government and Townsville City Council for again supporting this concept which allows Supercars to race at one of our favourite circuits on back-to-back weekends.

“We’re also pleased to announce that one of our long-standing partners, WD-40 will be our naming rights partner for the new event and we’re grateful to have them back on board.

“Supercars would like to thank drivers, officials, team personnel and their families for their continued support of this year’s Repco Supercars Championship.”
