SYMMONS Plains Raceway will come alive with all the action of the AWC Race Tasmania meet in two weeks’ time.
The second round of the 2024 Shannons SpeedSeries will see five categories on the track just south of Launceston from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 March.
The Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series, Trico Trans Am Series, Precision National Sports Sedans, ACL Race Series Hyundai Excel and Sparco Tassie Tin Tops, and Drift League Tasmania are all on the fourth-ever Race Tasmania program.
Organiser, Barry Rogers said he expects a strong turn-out of spectators.
“We’re ahead on ticket sales, so I think we’ll get a pretty good crowd down there, and we always get a good crowd down there,” he said.
“We’re taking sports sedans down there for the first time in 20-plus years.”

The Hyundai Excel drivers are competing for $10,000; the biggest Hyundai racing prize ever in Australia.
Race Tasmania marks round two for TCR Australia and Trans Am, and a series opener for Sports Sedans, which has never launched a season in Tassie before.
Rogers said the event is also made possible due to the passion of Andrew Walter of naming rights sponsor, AWC.
“Andrew is a big supporter of motorsport up here, but he supports this event and helps us out strongly with it, as does the Tasmanian Government,” he said.
