Fourth Sydney event to feature Additional Driver session

The fourth Sydney Motorsport Park event will feature an Additional Driver session.

Co-drivers will have a 40-minute session to themselves on the Friday of the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight.

It will be the first and only dedicated session for co-drivers ahead of the six-day Repco Bathurst 1000, which will be staged two weeks later in December.

The Additional Driver session will lead into a 30-minute night-time practice.

A second 30-minute session will take place on the Saturday ahead of qualifying and an ARMOR ALL Top Ten Shootout.

Drivers will then tackle the first 250km-long race since July’s NTI Townsville 500.

At-event co-driver sessions have typically been staged throughout the season, but the Additional Driver session in Sydney will be the first of its kind since 2019.

The second Tailem Bend event in 2020 feature a rookie session which was opened up to co-drivers.

Sydney Motorsport Park will host the first of four consecutive events with the Sydney SuperNight from October 29.

The first three events will feature three 125km races, with the first and third events featuring night racing.

The fourth event, the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight, will see the return of the dual 250km race format.
