You may not be able to high-five the drivers but a socially distanced selfie and chat are acceptable.
Another opportunity to meet the drivers will take place Thursday evening at The Precinct at the Darwin Waterfront, with a selection of drivers forming a panel to answer fans’ questions from 6pm to 7pm, again while maintaining physical distancing.
Supercars merchandise will also be available for purchase.
The North Australian Motorsports Club will also race this weekend as a support category. The Top End Drift Association will also return to perform a drifting demonstration, as it did during the BetEasy Darwin Triple Crown last weekend.
NT Major Events chief executive Tim Watsford said it was great to be able to involve more locals and give fans the chance to meet the drivers.
“The pit lane walk will be an incredible opportunity, as will the Q&A session some drivers will take part in on Thursday. We ask fans to please respect physical distancing measures at both these events,” he said.
