Circuit of the Americas has today announced the provisional schedule for next month’s V8 Supercars Austin 400 in Texas.
The series makes its USA debut at the Austin race track from 17 to 19 May.
The V8 Supercars will run four 62 mile (100 km) races – two on Saturday and two Sunday – on the shortened 3.7 km National circuit which excludes five corners from the full-size 5.5 km Grand Prix layout. Two qualifying sessions will be held each day, one for each race.
Earlier this week, James Courtney took part in a unique car swap at the circuit as part of a promotional event for the Austin 400 race, with Courtney getting behind the wheel of former NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Kurt Busch’s #78 Furniture Row Chevrolet SS Sprint Cup car, while Busch piloted the Holden Commodore Car Of The Future prototype which has been in Texas for the past month to help publicise the event.
