The tight and twisty rural layout features a range of slow corners, which combine to make Winton the slowest circuit on the Supercars calendar.

A total of 12 corners linked by short straights, the circuit was lengthened by a kilometre in 1997 with new pit garages and a new pit lane also installed.

Winton was resurfaced at the start of 2016, with new bitumen laid over the entire circuit and Turns 10 and 12 being re-profiled.

What time is it on?

The first cars hit the track at 8:45am local on Friday morning.

The opening Virgin Australia Supercars Championsip practice session begins at 10:50am for additional drivers. The main drivers will then have their first practice at 12:35pm.

Saturday's 50 lap 120 kilometre race starts at 4:00pm local time while Sunday's is at the earlier 1:45pm.
