Supercars at The Bend is the event you never knew you needed in 2021
Ok, we get it. Loud V8s moving at extreme speeds, round and round the same track for three days straight, isn’t for everyone. So from one wine-sipping, outdoors-loving Aussie to another, here’s a few of the reasons why this year’s Repco Supercars Championship at The Bend might just be the event we never knew we needed to experience!

The annual Supercars event at The Bend Motorsport Park attracts a certain type of car fanatic. And while many of us Aussies might prefer to spend our weekends at wineries or exploring the great outdoors – here in South Australia – we still love to embrace our motorsport events (and hold a warm place in our hearts for our brand-adorned, flag-waving, revved-up, passionate fans that these events bring with them).
The team at The Bend know all of this, and so this year, on top of putting on one of the world’s best motorsport events for the die-hard fanatics right here in South Australia, they’ve gone a few steps further and created a phenomenal all-ages event that anyone (even non-motorsport fans) can get behind!

There’s nothing quite like that moment where you grab your wrist-brand (or don your lanyard) and walk through the gates of a major event. Supercars are no different. As soon as you arrive you can hear the crowd and cars roar as you scan the crowd and work out where to set up for the day.
And in 2021 – it feels even better as we finally get to experience that big energy crowd-atmosphere again (after a devastating year off thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic).
It’s always fun to try to spot the drivers and watch their entourage of supporters roam the event grounds too. The aura surrounding some of them (think James Courtney, Scotty Pye and Mark Winterbottom) is a feeling you can’t explain, and you’ll be drawn into the intense rivalry amongst teams and fans.
