This year’s final Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships event will be streamed live on 7plus on 22-23 October, with highlights to also be screened on 7mate.
 
The event, which takes place in South Australia, is part of The Bend AutoFest, which includes The Bend Classic and the Adelaide Hills Rally, a round of the RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship (ARC).
 
Featuring as part of the broadcast are an experienced and high quality on air team including Greg Rust, Matt Naulty, Richard Craill, Cameron van den Dungen and Darren Smith, while ARC hosts Jess Dane and Dean Herridge will continue to report on all things rally throughout the weekend.
 
The stream will take place on Saturday and Sunday and feature categories competing in the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships, including the Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia presented by AWS, Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge, Radical Cup Australia, GC Marine Australia Prototypes Series and Australian Production Cars.

The ARC’s EROAD Power Stage will also screen on 7plus on Sunday afternoon as part of the bumper motorsport event, as it has been throughout 2022.
 
The two-day stream will be available live and free for all motorsport fans with at least six hours of streaming each day.
 
Highlights from the event will stream in the weeks following the event, with the exact broadcast time to be confirmed.
 
Motorsport Australia Director of Motorsport & Commercial Operations Michael Smith said The Bend AutoFest promised to be spectacular.
 
“To have both the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships and the RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship competing at the same event is an exciting prospect for motorsport fans,” Smith said.
 
“We’re also thrilled to be continuing our partnership with the Seven Network and having this event available live and free on 7plus. This will allow anyone with a phone, tablet or Smart TV to tune in and watch the event throughout the weekend.
 
“The Bend AutoFest will be a great opportunity to also showcase The Bend Classic and GT Festival as part of the broader event and we’re excited to be hosting this all at such a world class facility.
 
“The event will culminate with a very special EROAD Power Stage on Sunday afternoon, which will also utilise those impressive facilities at The Bend, including the circuit itself which will certainly be something different for competitors.
 
Fans can stream the event live and free on 7plus, from 10.30am AEDT on Saturday 22 October and Sunday 23 October.
