Race day at Phillip Island

Racing at the Phillip Island 400 starts today, and you can be sure the drivers won't be leaving a stone unturned as they fight for critical points as the V8 Supercars Championship comes to a close.

Hear the roar of four wheels as the V8 Supercars tear around the track with back-to-back qualifying sessions and two 100km races today.

See the drivers push the limits as they fight for a front row start during qualifying, with the first 10-minute hit out starting at 11.50am, followed by the second session at 12.10pm.

Then, strap yourself in for two 100 kilometre races around the fast and flowing island. The lights go green for Race 1 at 2.30pm, ahead of Race 2 at 4.35pm.

Between races, keep your adrenalin pumping when the Touring Car Masters, Aussie Racing Cars and Sports GTs battle it out on track. The Showtime FMX crew, Hot Wheels Stunt Team and Aussie Bandit ute will also be on hand delivering high-octane entertainment to the Island.

The best place to catch all of this on-track action today is from the comfort of your own car. With your Park and View pass you can enjoy all the racing from pole position, located between turn 7 and 9 on the circuit. Food outlets and track facilities are nearby, so you won't miss a second of the action! But make sure you secure your Park and View pass before getting to the circuit, they sell out quick.

With your paddock pass, check out the garages for all of the behind-the-scenes action as the talented teams work on the cars, trying to make them go faster. From inside the paddock you can also see the amazing purpose-built transporters. Have your cameras at the ready, you may even bump into a driver too.

But before you check out the paddock, make sure you head on over to Merchandise Alley to get kitted out in your favourite V8 Supercars team's gear!

With kids 14 and under receiving free trackside admission with a paying adult, make sure you bring them along this weekend to check out the Disney Fun Zone. They can catch up with Cars favourties Mack the Transporter and Lighting McQueen while chilling out in the B double trailer to watch the latest Disney blockbuster, Planes. They can even bounce around in the Planes-themed inflatable zone, or build their own place at the brand new Planes Hanger. Aspiring young racers can test their peddle power on the World Grand Prix Training track or at Lighting McQueen's awesome two-track inflatable slide.

With so much happening at this critical round in the V8 Supercars Championship, you don't want to miss it! The Phillip Island 400 - your paradise with a pulse.
