Supercars race in Townsville
TICKETS for the 2024 NTI Townsville 500 have gone on sale, enabling fans to book their seats for the Repco Supercars Championship’s visit to far north Queensland in July.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the inaugural Townsville Supercars event in 2009, and will include the 40th Supercars race on the streets around Reid Park.
The NTI Townsville 500 will feature two 250km races across the July 5-7 weekend, with the Sunday race being the 40th Supercars race held at the venue.
Last year’s event saw two first-time Townsville winners split the weekend’s honours, with Toowoomba’s Will Brown winning the Saturday race followed by Dick Johnson Racing’s Anton De Pasquale taking the top step on Sunday.
“The NTI Townsville 500 is a favourite stop on the calendar for teams and fans, and serves as one of the marquee events of our season,” said Supercars chief strategy and revenue officer Mark Pejic.
“The stunning street circuit at Reid Park is one of the best in the world and always produces fantastic door-to-door racing. Couple that with the thrilling attractions and activations around the circuit and add in Townsville’s beautiful July weather, and it’s no surprise why the NTI Townsville 500 is the biggest sporting event in north Queensland,” he said.
The NTI Townsville 500 has the impressive status of being run continuously since its inaugural event in 2009, held on a 2.86km hybrid circuit which is part permanent and part city streets.
The championship’s visit to far north Queensland is part of its usual mid-season northern swing, and this year marks the midway point of the 2024 Supercars season.
“We are excited to continue our support of the NTI Townsville 500 in 2024,” said NTI head of marketing Jason Kibsgaard.
The NTI Townsville 500 takes place July 5-7 on streets around Townsville’s Reid Park. Tickets to the highly-anticipated event can be found via the Repco Supercars Championship website via https://bit.ly/42RsK39 or through Ticketek at https://bit.ly/3uNrBwR
