2022 Supercars Adelaide 500 – Start time, how to watch, channel & more

The event was killed off by the previous South Australian government in late 2020, only to be brought back to life this year thanks to an election promise from new premier Peter Malinauskas.

The revival has included resurfacing most of the roads used for the track prompting predictions of new lap records across the weekend.

The Adelaide 500 will take place across 500 kilometres split into two 250-kilometre heats.

The running is split across four days, with a total of three practice sessions and a qualifying session and Top 10 Shootout for each of the two races.

While Shane van Gisbergen wrapped up the 2022 Supercars title on the Gold Coast last month, there is still plenty to play for this weekend.

Significantly it is the final time there will be Holdens on the Supercars grid with the axed GM brand to be effectively replaced by Chevrolet and the Camaro next year.

It is also the final hit-out for the Gen2-spec Car of the Future Supercars before they are replaced by the all-new Gen3 cars next season.

That means the Holden teams will all desperately be trying to claim two more wins for the famous marque, while the Ford teams will be trying to spoil the farewell party.
