The short but fast layout of Symmons Plains Raceway always produces thrilling V8 Supercars racing, and with the 2015 competition closer than ever, the Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint is set to be action-packed.

It's practice day today for the V8 Supercars, with two 60 minute practice sessions headlining today's on-track activities, kicking off at 10.05am local time.

Use your paddock pass to check out the V8 Supercar garages and see the skilled teams work on their cars between the sessions as they attempt to improve car speed. From inside the paddock you can also see the impressive purpose-built transporters, while you may even bump into some of the personalities of pit lane, you even have the chance to watch the action from the pit lane rooftop.

The Sports GTs, Touring Car Masters and Aussie Racing Cars will also lay down some rubber around the 2.4 kilometre circuit today, with all three support categories taking to the track for two practice sessions. See the cars up close at the support classes' area, located at the rear of the V8 Supercars paddock.

Catch all of the on-track action from pole position! The Park and View opportunity returns to Symmons Plains Raceway, allowing viewers to watch all the high-octane entertainment unfold from the comfort of their own cars. Race goers can park up halfway up the straight to the hairpin and have an unobstructed view of the most entertainment passing spots on the track, with food and drink outlets and facilities close-by.

Make a family trip to the Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint and keep the little race fans entertained at the Family Zone. Located outside turn two, kids can enjoy the free face painting and balloon artist and watch as the stilt walkers entertain the crowd. The Family Zone is smoke free and provides seating, making it a fantastic place for a pit stop!

The neighbouring Chill Out Zone is another great facility to take a break. See all the on track action on a big screen while you refuel at the various food and beverage outlets and relax on a bean bag. The Chill Out Zone will also be hosting the Launceston Karting Club over the weekend - the same club Marcos Ambrose began his racing career. The club will have a variety of karts on display and give young racing admirers the chance to have a seat in one. Let the club show you what is required to kick start your very own racing career.
