Western Sydney locals and V8 Supercar champions Mark
Winterbottom, Holden, and James Courtney, Ford, will be hoping for some
kind of home advantage in The Sydney Motorsport Park 400, to be held for
the first time at Eastern Creek this weekend.
Winterbottom who hails from Doonside and Courtney of Penrith will be out
to show up current championship leader Jamie Whincup, Redbull, who
stole the advantage from Winterbottom last round.
The return of V8 Supercars to Sydney Motorsport Park will be a weekend
to remember with a jam packed schedule, first class facilities and a
host of entertainment.
More than 15,000 V8 motorsport fans from all over the country and within
NSW are expected to visit Western Sydney to experience the thrill of
seeing Australia’s best V8 drivers navigate through two 100 kilometre
races on Saturday and a 200 kilometre on Sunday in a SuperSprint format.
In 2013 the NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency
Destination NSW, secured this additional round of the V8 Supercar
Championship Series for 2014, in addition to the Sydney 500 held at
Sydney Olympic Park in December.
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said Sydney and
NSW has the most impressive line-up of motorsport events in the
country.
“We have worked with V8 Supercars to ensure that Sydney and NSW is the
centre of the V8 Supercar Championship calendar, hosting more rounds
than any other State,” Ms Chipchase said.
“The Sydney 400, as well as the Sydney 500 and the V8 Supercar Test Day
at Motorsport Park, both secured until 2016, together with Bathurst 1000
will continue to provide a multitude of motorsports fans with a
wonderful experience.”
