Originally scheduled to run at the 2021 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, the decision to postpone the Australian round of the world championship to November meant the Sandown International Raceway would act as the replacement round.

 

There has been plenty of news in between February’s Repco Mount Panorama 500 and this weekend’s Penrite Oil Sandown Supersprint, but perhaps the most notable news is Shane van Gisbergen’s availability despite a recent injury.

 

Suffering a broken collarbone while mountain biking earlier this month, the 2016 champion has been in a race against time to get himself fit for the second meeting of the year, which sees three races over the course of the two-day event.

 

In welcome news for Victorian motorsport fans, up to 7000 spectators per day will be allowed into the circuit with the venue to be divided into four zones to accommodate Supercars’ approved COVIDSafe Event Plan.

 

Fans will be able to access the grandstand zone, two park & view zones, and the paddock zone, but strict rules apply to all four zones, including all spectators in the grandstand and park & view zones must remain seated at all times except when leaving for food and beverage.

Fans will enjoy plenty of on track entertainment with the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia and VHT S5000 Australian Drivers’ Championship to headline the exciting support categories.

 

For those watching it from the comfort of home, Foxtel and its streaming partner Kayo will broadcast the full weekend, while the Seven Network will air highlights on each day.

 

The 2021 Penrite Oil Sandown Supersprint takes place at Sandown International Raceway on 20-21 March.
