Australia set for biggest ever support race line-up

Organisers of next year’s season-opening Grand Prix in Australia have announced a bumper support race package which they say will leave fans attending the event ‘spoilt for choice’ in Melbourne.

Supporting F1 as the 2018 campaign roars into life at Albert Park will be the ever popular Supercars series, which will run as a championship round for the first time.

The Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli – Asia Pacific, the Porsche Wilson Security Carrera Cup Australia (featuring a field of over 24 brand new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars) and the Australian GT Championship will also be on the bill.

“With a bumper line-up of entertaining and competitive racing, it will be an incredibly unique experience for fans as they enjoy the spectacle of these action-packed support categories,” said Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO Andrew Westacott.

“Fans will be spoilt for choice across the four-day event, with an array of on-track action racing for championship points in all categories.”
