PERTH SUPERSPRINT

PERTH SUPERSPRINT

04/05/2018

Get your pulse racing with a ticket to the Perth round of the 2018 Supercars Championship – the Perth SuperSprint. A radical new qualifying format will be introduced at Supercars’ two shortest circuits next season in a bid to avoid traffic-related incidents. The 2.4 kilometre Barbagallo circuit will feature the new format, in which the field will be split into groups based on practice times before a three-part Armor All Qualifying session. It follows a series of near-misses over recent seasons as cars on flying laps came across others warming up for their runs. This year’s Barbagallo event thrust the issue into the spotlight as Shane van Gisbergen and David Reynolds were forced to spear off the circuit in separate incidents to avoid other cars.
