Supercars and the Tasmanian Government will be hosting a fan event in Hobart in the build-up to the 2025 Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440, following on from the success of the 2024 instalment.
From 3:00pm to 6:00pm on Wednesday May 7, Supercars will host a street party at Hobart’s Princes Wharf No. 1, featuring several of the cars and stars of the Repco Supercars Championship, and even some local drivers who are making a name for themselves in the Dunlop Super2 Series.
The free public event is proudly supported by the Tasmanian Government will allow fans to get up close with some of the vehicles that will be on track at the Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440 from May 9-11 at Symmons Plains Raceway.
Drivers will be available for signings and Q&As, with fan activations and giveaways set to be part of the action.
Supercars Strategic Partnerships Manager Shane Rudzis said: "We are incredibly excited to once again bring Supercars to Hobart, where we met with hundreds of fans in 2024.
“This activation, made possible through the support of the Tasmania Government, is a fantastic opportunity for fans to get a taste of the action up close and kick off race week celebrations. It's a great way for us to give back to the community.
“There is a lot of buzz around this year’s event in Tasmania, with the new-look race format bringing close to an extra 200km of racing, the return of the Tasmanian Top Ten Shootout and the first ever Dunlop Super2 Series Shootout, so we hope fans who come along on Wednesday can make their way to the event across 9-11 May.”
Minister for Sports and Events, Nick Duigan, said the Tasmanian Government remained committed to supporting major events that drive visitation and showcase the state on a national stage, as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.
Minister Duigan said the Government was proud to support Supercar events in Tasmania: “This important partnership for motorsport fans has continued since 2004.
“The Supercars Championship is one of Tasmania’s premier sporting events, attracting thousands of fans and generating millions of dollars in economic benefit for local businesses.
“More than one million fans have attended Supercars events at Symmons Plains since 1995, and we look forward to welcoming many more over the coming years.
“The activation event in Hobart is an exciting addition to the program which we know fans will embrace.”
The Supercars street party at Hobart’s Princes Wharf begins from 3:00pm on Wednesday 7 May with drivers set to take the stage from 4:00pm.
Following the event in Hobart, the Repco Supercars Championship will head north to race at Launceston’s Symmons Plains Raceway from 9-11 May at the Tasmania Super 440.
