Have fun at the Supercars revheads but be safe

The Supercars are back in town and so are the fans, and it is more important than ever to be safe and responsible.

THE Supercars are back in town and so are the fans — thousands of them.

Territorians love their motorsport, which is why the Darwin Triple Crown is one for the best attended sporting event in the Territory each year.

Hundreds of revheads are expected to pack into the city on Wednesday to catch the transporter convoy when it departs Hidden Valley Raceway at 6.30pm and heads to the Darwin CBD for a lap ahead of the Darwin Triple Crown this weekend (June 18-20).

It's a blockbuster event that brings the city to life but lets make sure to spoil the event with silly behaviour.

‘Pointless’ Palmerston hospital a really sick joke

Mental health patients are not a ‘burden’ on our health system

Let’s have fun at this weekend’s big events, but stay Covid-safe

If you’re having a drink this weekend steer clear of the track and enjoy the Supercars in safety.

The tragedy that rocked the Finke Desert Race on Monday is a sobering reminder of how quickly a great day out can turn into tragedy.

The last thing we want is to see such a terrible incident repeated in any way.

That also applies to driving to and from the event.

If you’re heading to Hidden Valley this weekend and looking to get on the beers don’t drink and drive.

Organise a sober bob before hand or order a Uber or taxi to get you home safely.

You can ensure NT coppers will be out on the roads this weekend looking to ensure every one does the right thing. Let’s make this weekend one to remember, for all the right reasons.
