Report

Background

Scott McLaughlin entered the event holding a championship lead of 124 points over teammate Fabian Coulthard.

The format of this event was changed from the previous format of two 250 kilometre races to a SuperSprint format consisting of one race of 120 kilometres and one race consisting of 200 kilometres. The event was moved to become a double-header with the Tasmania SuperSprint on the previous weekend.[4]

A new safety car procedure was trialled at this event. The trial saw the pitlane closed when a safety car was called in a bid to ease congestion and double stacking. Any car which had not completed its compulsory pit stop at the time the safety car was called would therefore have to wait until after the end of the safety car period to take its stop. Phillip Island was chosen as the venue for this trial due to its narrow pit lane and small pit bays.[5]
