In this pack we have assembled an array of essential information to help you and your students get the most
out of your STUDENTS ON TRACK program experience.
This information booklet includes the track map, terms and conditions of entry, information on our drivers and

Please have no hesitation in making copies of this manual if required — in particular the STUDENTS ON TRACK

The STUDENTS ON TRACK program is a Supercars initiative introduced to give students the chance to be part
of one of your state’s largest sporting events. We suggest that teachers compile an itinerary for the day as there
is no formal education component. We have included a suggested itinerary to assist.
We welcome any feedback that you may have on this initiative. Please email [email protected]
Once again, we welcome you to the Supercars STUDENTS ON TRACK program and we trust that you will enjoy
