2026 Ryco Enduro Cup begins on shorter West Circuit
Brodie Kostecki/Todd Hazelwood defending Bend winners
The season of endurance has arrived, with the 2026 Ryco Enduro Cup set to kick off at the AirTouch 500 at The Bend.
It's a new-look pre-Bathurst enduro, set to be run on the shorter West Circuit layout over 147 laps, up from 102 last year. The West Circuit was last used as the second leg of a 2020 doubleheader.
Broc Feeney snatched a last gasp Repco Sprint Cup victory last time out in Ipswich, after an engine failure for 2025 Enduro Cup winner Matt Payne.
There will be plenty of Supercars action over the course of the weekend, with nine official sessions from Friday to Sunday. See the full track schedule here.
Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood won last year's enduro at The Bend, ahead of Cam Waters/Mark Winterbottom, and Payne/Garth Tander.
