INAUGURAL SYDNEY MOTORSPORT PARK 400

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.”
