The event follows the standard Super440 format headlined by two races on Saturday and a single contest on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Supercars has again opted to make the Sunday a 78-lap (188km) affair, having reduced the distance to that number last year amid fuel consumption concerns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The category had calculated that its originally slated 80-lap duration would have had cars struggling to make the distance on just two stops.<\/p>\n

Symmons Plains is dominated by two long straights that result in a greater percentage of time spent at full throttle than any other Supercars circuit.<\/p>\n


\"\"\/
<\/a><\/p>\n

The two Saturday races are meanwhile 50 laps each, hitting their advertised 120km, for a total of 429 racing kilometres.<\/p>\n

Both are milestone races with the opener the 100th of the Gen3 era and the second marking the 100th ATCC\/Supercars race at Symmons Plains.<\/p>\n

Only Wanneroo Raceway, which brought up the century last year, has more.<\/p>\n

Supercars will be supported by the V8 SuperUtes, Aussie Racing Cars, Touring Car Masters and the Tasmanian Tin Tops.<\/p>\n

The local category effectively replaces the Super2 Series in the schedule from 2025.<\/p>\n
