V8 Supercars - L&H 500 Phillip Island

This September, the sound of purring engines will be echoing around Phillip Island.

The V8 Supercars 'Season of Endurance' will be held from the 16th-18th of September 2011. 28 regular drivers must share their seat with a co-driver over 500 arduous kilometres to win the V8 Supercars Championship.


For the kids
Some kids' activities during the event will be the Disney Pixar’s CARS Truck Tour universe with Lightning McQueen’s Slot Car Racing Tournament, arts and crafts in Mater’s Workshop, and there's more happening on the day!

About the L&H 500 Phillip Island
Phillip Island is the birthplace of the race we now know as the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. The event was first held in 1960 and would be held for a further two years on the island before the event was moved to Bathurst. It has since become one of the jewels in the Australian sporting crown. Phillip Island became the new home of the pre-Bathurst endurance event in 2008.
