Supercars headed back to Tailem Bend
The 13-round schedule for next year’s Supercars championship has been completed with Perth to host again after a two-year absence.
The SuperNight at Wanneroo Raceway is due to be held from April 30 in 2022 after the event was cancelled in the past two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Scott McLaughlin was the overall winner of the 2019 event.
The schedule will start in Newcastle in March and end in November at Sydney Motorsport Park.
