Supercars responds to latest Victoria lockdown

Supercars has confirmed the official pre-season test day at Winton has been rescheduled to a later date amid new lockdown restrictions in Victoria.

Winton Motor Raceway was set to host Victorian-based teams on Tuesday for pre-season testing.

On Friday, it was confirmed the entire state of Victoria will enter a five-day snap lockdown from 11:59pm on Friday night.

Friday February 19 has been confirmed as the new date for the test.

"Due to the recently announced five day, state-wide lockdown in Victoria, Supercars has rescheduled the planned test day in Winton to Friday, 19 February 2021," a Supercars spokesperson said.

"Further information will be provided once arrangements have been finalised."

Queensland-based teams hit the track in Ipswich on Friday for official pre-season testing.
