The Sandown 500 (commercially titled Penrite Oil Sandown 500) is an annual endurance motor race which is staged at the Sandown Raceway, near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia from 1964. The event's name, distance – and the category of cars competing in it – has varied widely throughout its history. Most recently, the event was held as a championship event for Supercars from 2003 to 2007 and from 2012 to 2019.
Historically the event was held in September, the month before Australia's premier endurance race, the Bathurst 1000. However for its 2019 running, it was held in November.[1][2] The event returned in September 2023 after a three-year hiatus.[3]
