The Merlin Supercars Darwin Triple Crown at Hidden Valley kicks off this weekend live and free on Seven, 7mate and 7plus.
This year marks the first time the Darwin Triple Crown will be formally recognised as the Indigenous Round for Supercars.
Seven’s resident motorsport expert Mark Beretta will take viewers live to Hidden Valley Raceway for a weekend jam-packed with action, kicking off from midday on Saturday afternoon, before a second five-hour telecast on Sunday afternoon.
Supercars legends Garth Tander, Mark Skaife and Craig Lowndes will return to the commentary box, alongside motorsport expert Neil Crompton, while fan favourites Mark Larkham and Riana Crehan lead the pit lane coverage.
Seven’s Supercars coverage will continue uninterrupted during commercial breaks this weekend thanks to cutting-edge picture-in-picture (PiP) technology introduced during the 2021 season.
Fans can tune in to the full broadcast live and free on Seven, 7mate and 7plus, while the full replay will be available as catch up on 7plus, along with Supercars highlights, docos and other bonus content.
Arriving at the sixth stop on the championship tour this weekend, Shane Van Gisbergen is firming as the man to beat following his impressive effort at Winton.
Leading the charge, Van Gisbergen holds a 281-point lead over Dick Johnson Racing’s Anton De Pasquale while Cameron Waters sits a further 52 points behind in third.
The only Supercars event to feature drag racing, Darwin will also host Nitro Up North – the grand finale of the Australian Top Fuel Championship – broadcast live and free on 7plus from 5.30pm AEDT on Sunday.
Top Fuel dragsters are the quickest accelerating racing cars in the world and the fastest sanctioned category of drag racing, with the fastest competitors reaching speeds over 500 kilometres an hour.
