Adelaide is set to host a new Supercars enduro race this September, marking a significant milestone for motorsport enthusiasts in South Australia. The event, known as the AirTouch 500, will take place at The Bend over a jam-packed three-day motorsport festival. This partnership with AirTouch, a leading smart home technology platform, brings a fresh and exciting dimension to the racing scene in the region.
The AirTouch 500 is not just another race; it is the only Supercars endurance round outside of the iconic Bathurst 1000, adding prestige to South Australia’s motorsport calendar. Anticipated to draw over 50,000 spectators and 3,000 campers, this event promises a weekend filled with high-octane action, strategic maneuvers, and a strong sense of regional pride.
Supercars drivers will engage in a grueling 500km showdown on Sunday, navigating through co-driver swaps, pit stop tactics, and long-form race drama. The inclusion of the FIA TCR World Tour adds an international flair to the festival, showcasing top manufacturers from around the globe right in South Australia.
Supported by Polyaire, the creators of AirTouch, this collaboration underscores South Australia’s innovative spirit and global aspirations. Aemel Nordin, Managing Director of Polyaire, expressed pride in partnering with The Bend for this prestigious event, highlighting the state’s commitment to excellence in both technology and motorsport.
Local hero Nick Percat, representing Matt Stone Racing, is eager to tackle the challenges of his home circuit and is optimistic about the show that The Bend will put on for Supercars fans. CEO of Supercars, Shane Howard, emphasized the significance of The Bend hosting the first endurance race of the year, setting the stage for a thrilling championship battle.
The AirTouch 500 promises an adrenaline-fueled weekend for motorsport enthusiasts. The event, scheduled for September 12th to 14th at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend, is a must-watch for fans of speed, strategy, and pure racing excitement. As South Australia gears up to host this premier motorsport spectacle, the AirTouch 500 at The Bend is poised to make a lasting impression on the Australian racing scene.
