Sydney pre-season test: What you need to know

Amid the growing excitement for the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship, fans can head to Sydney Motorsport Park for the first ever all-in test day of the Gen3 era.

All 25 brand-new cars entered in the 2023 Championship will test together on Wednesday February 22.

It will mark the first time all 25 cars will share a race track together after a fortnight of testing at Winton and Ipswich respectively.

The Sydney test day comes just two weeks before the season commences at the Thrifty Newcastle 500.

All drivers, including back-to-back series champion Shane van Gisbergen, will be on track from 8:30am to refine their skills behind the wheel of their new Chevrolet Camaros and Ford Mustangs.

The test day is free to the public, with fans able to catch a glimpse of all the Supercars that will feature on track this year.

Live timing will be set up and available via Supercars.com for fans to keep up-to-date with information about which drivers will earn early bragging rights.

The Supercars.com website will also provide live updates for fans throughout the day as well, ensuring not a minute of action is missed from what is set to be a crucial day of testing.

Gates will open at 8:00am for the public, with parking available at the circuit on the Sydney Motorsport Park Skid Pan.

Track running is set to take place in two sessions, with a lunch break in between.

The first session will run between 8:30am and 12:30pm, and the second between 1:00pm and 5:00pm.

Once testing is complete, all attention turns to the Thrifty Newcastle 500, which runs March 10-12 on the streets of NSW's second-largest city.

Tickets for the Thrifty Newcastle 500 are available through Supercars.com and Ticketek.
