V8 Supercars Presents Sydney NRMA Motoring and Services 500
V8 Supercars has teamed up with one of Australia's largest membership owned companies, NRMA Motoring and Services, for next week's epic Championship decider at Sydney Olympic Park.
NRMA Motoring and Services has taken up naming rights for one of Sydney's largest entertainment events, the Sydney NRMA Motoring and Services 500.
The Sydney NRMA Motoring and Services 500 looms as one of the classic deciders with the sport's biggest names – Jamie Whincup, Craig Lowndes, Mark Winterbottom and Will Davison – facing off after 36 individual races throughout the year.
The NRMA Motoring and Services Sydney 500 will play out over three days from next Friday 6 December, 2013, with the feature Saturday night twilight race set to play a big part in deciding the title winner. A crowd in excess of 150,000 is expected with more than a million domestic television viewers.
V8 Supercars CEO James Warburton said having such an iconic Australian, membership-owned company put its name to the Sydney 500 was an ideal partnership.
"The NRMA is all for its members, just as we are all for our fans," Mr Warburton said.
"There are extremely strong synergies between the ethos and core values of the NRMA that relate directly to V8 Supercars and vice-versa."
NRMA Group CEO Tony Stuart said putting the NRMA's name next to V8 Supercars was a no-brainer for an organisation with over 2.41 million Members.
"Our Members love motorsports and we love the V8s," Mr Stuart said.
"The car has been a big part of the NRMA since 1920 and the cars competing for the Championship this year are among the fastest, coolest and safest in the world.
"We wish all the drivers well and encourage motorsport lovers to get out there and be part of this historic Championship decider."
As one of Australia's largest mutual organisations, NRMA Motoring and Services provides a range of services for Members and the community, including legendary roadside assistance as well as a diverse range of motoring, travel and lifestyle benefits, products and services.
The NRMA has proudly won the Australian Business Award for Service Excellence four years in a row and is one of the largest Member-owned mutual organisations in Australia.
The Sydney 500 is one of New South Wales' largest events, supported by the New South Wales Government as a tourism and destination drawcard.
As well as the racing, X Factor winner and ARIA chart topping artist Dami Im will perform on the Sunday alongside the cast of Grease.
The new era of V8 Supercars has produced more action packed racing than ever before, with four manufacturers set to do battle through one of the Australia's toughest street circuits. Experience twilight racing action on Saturday for the first time ever at Sydney Olympic Park.
The Disney-Pixar Fun Zone will again be on site with the life-size replica of Mack the Transporter plus new interactive activities including Cars, Toy Story, Monsters and Finding Nemo - there's more family fun than ever before. Kids 12 and under receive free trackside admission with a paying adult.
Tickets are available now through Ticketek for the Sydney NRMA Motoring and Services 500.
