PERTH SUPERNIGHT MAY 15-17
GETTING THERE
Barbagallo Raceway is a 45-minute drive north of Perth along the Mitchell Freeway, north-west from Perth Airport. Be prepared for traffic congestion into and out of the circuit, though once you’re on the freeway, it’s a smooth drive to Perth. Most teams choose to stay along the coast.
A tight and technical circuit where overtaking is difficult and, therefore, qualifying is key. The track was recently resurfaced for the first time since 2004, resulting in record-breaking lap times in 2019. The circuit hosts a night round for the second season in a row in 2020.

Winton Motor Raceway is a tight circuit where overtaking is difficult and handling is vital in order to qualify well. Overtaking opportunities are limited to Turn 3, a divebomb into Turn 7 and Turn 10 and 11, though they require big commitments on the brakes. It is also the slowest circuit on the calendar in terms of average speed, with a total of 12 corners linked by short straights.
