The second most famous race in Supercars history returns this weekend with the Sandown 500 taking place for the first time in four years.
The Sandown 500 has been on ice since 2019 and hasn't sat in the schedule as the traditional Bathurst lead-up since the year before that.
A pre-Bathurst hit-out will be critical for Supercars teams as they continue to grapple with the new Gen3 cars. The Sandown layout will add to that challenge with its tall, car-crunching kerbs, the use of which is critical to lap time. The endurance races are set to prove critical to the title fight with these single races each worth a full 300 points – and the added wildcard of having co-drivers share the cars with those battling for the crown.
That's because Garth Tander, who won Bathurst with van Gisbergen in 2020 and 2022, has jumped ship to Grove Racing to join David Reynolds in what is one of the top combos in the field. The same goes for Cam Waters and James Moffat, which will be a potent combo should the Mustang be up to the task.
