One of the most exciting returns on the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship calendar is The Bend. After a short stint off the roster, Australia’s newest world-class circuit is back, and it’s bigger than ever. Not only is The Bend returning, but it’s also stepping up as the host of a full endurance race for the first time, with the brand-new AirTouch 500.
Set for 12–14 September, The Bend 500 marks the opening round of the long-awaited Enduro Cup, reigniting a format that fans have been hungry to see make a comeback. The Enduro Cup will be contested across two iconic endurance events: The Bend and Bathurst. That means co-drivers, pit strategy, and long-form racing are back in focus, and The Bend’s fast, flowing, and highly technical layout will be the perfect stage to kick it all off.
At 4.95km long, The Bend’s International Circuit combines long straights, elevation changes and unforgiving corners, ideal territory for the kind of high-stakes racing that defines the enduro season. This will be the first time the track is used in an official Supercars endurance format, and teams will be under pressure to deliver results right from the green flag. With championship points on the line and co-driver pairings still proving themselves, anything can happen.
Supercars Travel is giving fans the best way to experience the return of The Bend. A range of travel packages are available that bundle race access with premium accommodation, exclusive experiences, and behind-the-scenes perks you won’t find anywhere else.

Every package includes a Guided Track Tour, an insider’s look at the layout that drivers will be tackling across 500km of racing, and the chance to get your photo taken with an official Supercars Championship trophy.

Options range from relaxed Turn 1 grandstand packages to high-end corporate hospitality in The International Lounge, with all the add-ons you need for a full weekend of motorsport indulgence.
The return of The Bend comes at a key moment in the championship run, and as the first leg of the Enduro Cup, it’s set to shake up the leaderboard.
