ABOUT THE RACE





The Clipsal 500 Adelaide, is the first round of the 2014 V8 Supercar Championship Series, and is Australia's largest domestic motor sport event.




The 2014 Clipsal 500 Adelaide will be the sixteenth race to be held in Adelaide with the event first being held in April 1999.




In 2013, the event was attended by a massive crowd of 286,500 patrons over the four days with the first ever sell out on the Sunday of the event. The event also launched the New Generation V8 Supercar and introduced two new manufacturers with Nissan and Erebus Motorsport joining the grid.




NEW RACE FORMAT FOR 2014

It's the biggest single change to the Clipsal 500 Adelaide in its 15 year history.




The concept of V8 Supercars competing over 500 kilometres around the streets of Adelaide remains at the core of the event, but in 2014 it will be conducted as two 125 kilometre races on the Saturday with a 250 kilometre race decider on the Sunday.









There will be more excitement, more drama, and even closer competition!




On Saturday you'll get the opportunity to see two V8 Supercar race starts, two finishes, and the drivers going flat out with valuable Championship points awarded for each 125 kilometre race.




The exciting new format also includes a totally new evening race schedule with the first of the 39 lap V8 Supercars events scheduled to start at around 4.30pm* and the second starting around 7pm*. Then on Sunday, the cars line-up again for the 250 kilometre leg of the Clipsal 500 Adelaide. Another first for Adelaide, and double the excitement for the fans!




On top of this there will also be supporting race categories throughout the event including the Porsche Carrera Cup, Touring Car Masters, Formula 3, V8 UTES and the Aussie Racing Cars.
