Event Info

Start

Sportsnet Holidays V8 Supercar Travel Packages are firing on all cylinders, after a successful 2008 our Darwin Hidden Valley 2009 package include private fishing charter, track tickets, hotel nights, exclusive driver event and more.

One of the toughest races of the year, Hidden Valley is a fantastic track, offering the likes of Winterbottom, Tander, Whincup and the Kelly Brothers passing opportunities a plenty and usually shows some great racing.

South of Darwin, Hidden Valley Raceway has a lot of high speed characteristics, with the main feature its 1.1-kilometre long straight where the V8 Supercars can reach up to 265km/h, before they reach the left hand turn of the anti-clockwise 2.9km circuit. The average speed around the Hidden Valley circuit is 147km/h, and is also known for its turn 5 hairpin where the average speed mid corner is just 65 km/h. A V8 Supercar that flows well through the sweeping bends in the second part of the track should be expected to post a quick lap time.
