Supercars’ annual trip to SMP has a new name, now being known as the Panasonic Air Conditioning Sydney SuperNight.

The seventh round of the 2024 season on July 19-21 will include the only race under lights of the year at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Whilst the schedule is yet to be confirmed, the night race will take place on Saturday night, while a twilight race will also be held on Sunday evening.

Panasonic takes over from Beaurepaires, which had supported the SMP round since 2021.

Supercars General Manager Jamie Black said the Panasonic Air Conditioning Sydney SuperNight will be a “highlight” of the season.

“It is always exciting to partner our championship with a universally known and respected brand. Panasonic Air Conditioning has been a fantastic supporter of Supercars, and we are delighted to extend our partnership to the Sydney SuperNight,” Black said.

“This event is a highlight of our calendar, and having Panasonic on board as the naming rights sponsor underscores the significance of this race weekend.”

“We are honoured to be the naming rights sponsor for the Panasonic Air Conditioning Sydney SuperNight,” said Panasonic Marketing and Engineering Australia Group Manager Joe De Bella.

“This event is one of the best on the Supercars’ calendar and we can’t wait to collaborate to bring together another memorable SuperNight in Sydney in July.”

Tickets are on sale for the July 19-21 event.
