Hundreds of Supercars fans got up close and personal with their favourite drivers at the famous Track to Town.
For the second year the drivers were able to put their wheels on the road and make their way into the Darwin CBD for thousands to see and enjoy.
It kick-started a huge weekend of Territory motorsports at Hidden Valley with the Darwin Triple Crown.
There’s plenty of on track story lines from Bryce Fullwood returning to his home town and James Courtney on track for the final time in Darwin.
Beyond the Supercars there will be much to enjoy, from support categories, musical performances and off-track entertainment.
Australia’s top aerobatic pilot Paul Bennet will make his NT debut as well performing gravity-defying formation loops and stunts in his Wolf Pitts Pro biplane.
It’s the only aircraft of its kind in the world that reaches speeds of 414km/hr and can handle +12/-10G-forces, enabling Bennet to do tricks others can’t; such as double hammer heads, forward flips and reversing through smoke.
“It is great to have the opportunity to display in Darwin. I have not flown in the NT previously and am looking forward to supporting the event and NT Events,” he said.
“It is always great to have the opportunity to increase our fan base to more of Australia, I think the Darwin crowd will be in amazement.
“I will fly my well-practised routine that includes some high energy low level aerobatics with forward flips and double hammerheads as well as many more.”
The 51-year-old said his team would be discussing the possibility of a future airshow in Darwin after becoming the first Australian invited to fly at Oshkosh, the world’s largest airshow.
