The Sydney SuperSprint (formally known as the Red Rooster Sydney SuperSprint) is an annual motor racing event for Supercars, held at Sydney Motorsport Park in Eastern Creek, New South Wales. The event has been a regular part of the Supercars Championship—and its previous incarnations, the Australian Touring Car Championship, Shell Championship Series and V8 Supercars Championship—since 1992.
The event is staged over a three-day weekend, from Friday to Sunday. Two one-hour practice sessions are held on Friday while a fifteen-minute practice session is held on Saturday. Saturday features a fifteen-minute qualifying session which decides the grid positions for the following 120 kilometre race. A single twenty-minute qualifying session is held on Sunday to decide the grid for the following 200 km race.
Opened in 1990, Sydney Motorsport Park, then known as Eastern Creek Raceway, hosted its first major touring car event in the same year; a 500 kilometre endurance race known as the 1990 Nissan Sydney 500. Although it was a round of the Australian Endurance Championship and Australian Manufacturers' Championship rather than the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC), it was open to Group A regulations, and therefore featured several cars running in that year's ATCC. It was won by Larry Perkins and Tomas Mezera in a Holden VL Commodore. From 1992 to 1995, the circuit also hosted the non-championship Winfield Triple Challenge, a pre-season event consisting of the trio of touring cars, superbikes and drag racing.
