The Repco Supercars Championship rigs aren’t going anywhere for the next two days, as the Supercars weaponry hits the track for the fourth round of the 2021 season at The Bend Motorsport Park.
Straight after the official transporter parade through Tailem Bend on Thursday evening (you can watch it here and here), the Supercars rigs parked up at The Bend Motorsport Park ready for the first day of on-track action.
The unload began at 10am, and within a couple of hours, the garages were filled with thousands of dollars of equipment and the transporters were converted into mobile workshops and lounge areas for the teams and drivers.
And it’s not just the Repco Supercars Championship in action this weekend. On the support category card is the Fanatec GT World Challenge, Carrera Cup Australia, SuperUtes and more, all of which have some spectacular rigs.
