Supercars transporters on final stretch into Perth

In the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship, drivers will complete nearly 5500km of racing across 12 rounds and 24 races.

That number will almost be achieved in one trip by team transporter drivers as they cross the country to get to Perth for Supercars' annual visit to Western Australia.

Supercars transporters are set to arrive in Perth in the coming days ahead of the Bosch Power Tools Perth SuperSprint, following a major journey across the Nullarbor.

Transporters carrying multi-million dollar shipments departed from Melbourne, Albury, Gold Coast and Brisbane last week.

For Queensland-based teams, it's a staggering 4377km trek to Perth, with Victorian teams set to log 3420km.

As road trips come for Supercars transporter drivers, the journey to Perth is by far the longest of the year. Drivers leave on the Friday, a week before track action commences, and arrive on Tuesday.

A transporter has four fuel tanks that hold 350 litres each, and drivers will to fuel up on on diesel once each way. Conversely, a Supercars's fuel capacity is 133 litres.

This weekend's event is the 45th Supercars/ATCC round to be held at CARCO.com.au Raceway. Perth has hosted more Supercars/ATCC races than any other circuit.

Tickets for the event are on sale at Supercars.com The event is exclusively live on Fox Sports and Kayo, with highlights on the Seven Network and 7plus. Check local guides for details.
