The Falken Tasmanian Challenge - V8 Supercars

Round 13 of the World's greatest touring car category - the V8 Supercar Championship Series!

This round of the series is held at Symmons Plains International Raceway in the centre of the State's picturesque sheep grazing lands just south of the northern city of Launceston and ten minutes from the picturesque Georgian village of Evandale.

The Symmons Plains circuit is just 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles) and designed for tight racing. It's a fast circuit with a long sweeping back straight where V8 Supercars can reach speeds of around 300 kilometres (more than 180 miles) per hour.

With a huge crowd expected once again it is here in Tasmania where the 2008 Champion may be decided yet again.

If you are looking for accommodation the town offers a range of self contained B&B and two hotels.
