Adelaide 500 auto race in Australia

The Adelaide 500 is an annual motor racing event for Supercars, held on the streets of the east end of Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. First held in 1999, the event uses a shortened form of the Adelaide Street Circuit, the former Australian Grand Prix track.

The 2004 V8 Supercar Championship Series was an Australian motor racing competition for V8 Supercars. It began on 21 March 2004 at the Adelaide Street Circuit and ended on 5 December at Eastern Creek Raceway after 13 rounds. It was the 45th running of the V8 Supercar Championship Series. The series winner was also awarded the 2004 Australian Touring Car Championship title by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.

Format

The format, unique to V8 Supercars and loosely similar to the Pukekohe 500 format, split the total distance of 500 kilometres into two separate 250 kilometre races each held on a different day. Points were assigned separately to the races, with more points allocated for Race 2 over Race 1, and they combined to award a round result.

Pukekohe 500

The Pukekohe 500 is an endurance motor racing event held for various touring car racing series since the 1980s at Pukekohe Park Raceway, Pukekohe, New Zealand. The race rose to international prominence in 1985 when it was linked with the Wellington 500 street race. The two races attracted Group A racing teams from Australia, Europe and Asia though until the end of the Group A era in the early 1990s.
