While the race itself doesn’t start until 11:10am, there have already been three days of action on the mountain, which capped off yesterday with Scott McLaughlin claiming pole position and breaking the lap record in the top ten shootout.

Before that, the action will get underway from 7:30am with the support categories, while the Supercars themselves will have a warm-up at 8:05am.

How to watch the race on TV

The race will be broadcast live for Australian viewers on two channels. The first of those is Fox Sports, who have the rights to every race, session and support category race throughout the Supercars season.

The other option will be on free-to-air TV through Network Ten. Following is a guide to broadcast times for the day of the race, considering the racing starts at 7:30am (AEDT) with the Toyota 86 Racing Series.

While Fox Sports normally don’t have ad breaks during the race, they are under contract to include them tomorrow when Ten go to a break. Fox will split screen during those breaks though, having the Supercars and ads running at the same time.

To watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you will need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription with the sports package included.
