The 2009 Falken Tasmanian Challenge - V8 Supercars

Round 5 of the World's greatest touring car category - the 2009 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 2009 Championship contenders can fight it out around the tight and tricky Symmons Plains Raceway.

If you are looking for accommodation close to the track, Evandale offers a great range of self contained B&B and two hotels. You'd better get in quick to book though, as the accommodation does fill up quickly!
