2009 V8 Supercar Championship Series - Race Calendar

Race Calendar

The following events made up the 2009 series. In contrast to previous seasons, which feature a single race per weekend, most of the rounds in 2009 had two races with equal length and points scales. The only exceptions where the with the Phillip Island 500 and Bathurst 1000 single-race rounds.

The Desert 400 originally scheduled to take place on 5–7 November was moved into the 2010 season. A replacement event, The Island 300, was announced in late September at Phillip Island. The Nikon SuperGP altered its format at late notice after the cancellation of the A1 Grand Prix event which was due to be held at the same event. The two by 200 kilometre races were altered to two races each split into two 150 kilometre legs. Race winners were declared on the basis of accumulated points over the two legs held each day.

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or calendar:

    “As a thinker and planner, the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts, she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
    —Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
