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. Currently, the event is held as a championship event for Supercars.
Historically the event has been held in September, the month before Australia's premier endurance race, the Bathurst 1000, with a recent exception of the 2019 running, held in November.[1][2] The event returned in September 2023 after a three-year hiatus.[3]
