The first piece of the 2027 Repco Supercars Championship calendar puzzle has been formally locked in, with the confirmation of the Australian Grand Prix date.
Confirmed by Formula 1 overnight, the 2027 Australian Grand Prix will be held on April 2-4, and is the third round of the new season after Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
F1 also confirmed Albert Park will, for the first time, host a Sprint race.
The F1 Sprint format features a practice session and Sprint qualifying on Friday, Sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday, and the traditional Sunday Grand Prix.
Supercars first raced at Albert Park as part of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in the event’s debut in 1996, with the event becoming a full championship round in 2018.
The Supercars driver who accumulates the most points over the four races of Grand Prix weekend takes home the Larry Perkins Trophy, named for the legendary Supercars and Formula 1 driver.
The Supercars experience went up a notch in 2025, when the category was taken closer than ever to fans in the Motorsport Precinct.
The opportunity to get up close to the team garages proved incredibly popular among fans and drivers when the category moved to the Motorsport Straight Precinct in 2025.
The full 2027 Repco Supercars Championship calendar will be revealed in due course.
The 2026 season resumes at the Repco Bathurst 1000 on October 8-11. Tickets are on sale now. International fans can watch on SuperView.
