Convoy will transport V8 fans to rev heaven

A FAVOURITE spectacle will return to Darwin on Thursday with the Supercars Transporter Convoy set to cruise through town ahead of two weekends of racing.

For the first time this year, Darwin is hosting a doubleheader of Supercars action, and the convoy will mark the start of almost three weeks of the Supercars teams residing in the Top End.

The convoy will follow its usual route, departing Hidden Valley at 6.30pm, turning left on the Stuart Highway towards the CBD, then on to Daly Street, Mitchell Street, Knuckey Street and McMinn Street, before heading on to Garramilla Boulevard and taking Tiger Brennan Drive back to Hidden Valley.

In line with the event’s COVID Safety Plan, the convoy will not stop in the CBD this year, but will form a continuous procession of everything Supercars.

People are requested to spread out along the route rather than gather in the CBD.

Tickets to the Supercars start at $35 and are available at darwinsupercars.com.au
