Gallery: VALO Adelaide 500 launch

A who's who turned out at Victoria Square on Tuesday to launch the VALO Adelaide 500.

The Adelaide Parklands Circuit will host the 2022 season finale in December.

Tickets have gone on sale for the December 1-4 event, which will be headlined by dual 250km races.

Several drivers, including two-time winner Shane van Gisbergen, helped launch the event.

South Australian locals Nick Percat, Todd Hazelwood, Tim Slade and Scott Pye were also present.

Drivers arrived on the back of motorcycles in front of a large crowd at Victoria Square.

The likes of SA Premier Peter Malinauskas and Mark Skaife addressed the crowd, as did the drivers.

This year's event will be the first Adelaide 500 since February 2020.

It will also be the first Adelaide 500 to end a Supercars season, having opened seasons between 1999 and 2020.
