“What an exciting five-week period for motorsport in NSW with five spectacular events to round out the 2021 Supercars Championship season.
“Sydney Motorsport Park is a world-class venue and the NSW Government’s investment in permanent lights has created the unique opportunity for fans to enjoy two weekends of thrilling night racing at Eastern Creek.

“The ARDC thanks the many valued event and experience partners who have made way for this unique series of races to occur.”

“First and foremost, we are happy to be back, but we will make sure we use everything that SMSP has to offer to put on the best possible show.
