The 50th edition of Supercars/Australian Touring Car Championship racing in Tasmania next week will feature the debut of racing at Symmons Plains of the Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, along with a huge line up of off-track entertainment for the entire family.

From famed Red Bull aerial stuntman Matt Hall to drift demonstrations and a fan-friendly podium in the General Admission area, the event will be one of the biggest for Supercars in Tasmania in recent years.

This year’s free entertainment for fans at the event will include:

Supercars podium presentations: The podium will be located in a brand new location for this year’s event, in the General Admission Area near the Family Zone. Located outside Turns 1 and 2, fans will be able to get up close with winning drivers on Saturday and Sunday as they celebrate their famous victories in Tasmania.

SuperKids Zone: For the first time, the Supercars SuperKids Zone will be featured at Symmons Plains. Located outside Turn 2, this secure area is specially designed to offer parents and children a chance to relax, play, and test their racing abilities. Kids can enjoy activities such as the Inflatable Racetrack, Fast Fan Challenge, and interactive tire-changing games.

Matt will perform breathtaking manoeuvres in his high-performance race plane, captivating spectators with his skill and precision. Two shows Saturday, two shows Sunday.

Island State Drift Demonstrations: Island State Drift will be bringing some of the best drifters from Australia wide and locally. 2022 Hi-Tec Drift All Stars Champion Brodie Maher, a Tasmania local, will spearhead the drift demonstrations across all three days of the event, joined by the current Tasmanian Champion and other local talent such as Jake Jones ‘DriftSquid’ from Sydney who is the ex-Chinese drift champion.
