After a rare reappearance of refuelling at last weekend's Townsville 500, it's back to short single-stop races for the Townsville SuperSprint.

The event will be determined over three 110-kilometre heats, one on Saturday and two on Sunday. Each race will feature a mandatory stop for at least two soft compound Dunlop tyres.

The grid for Saturday's opener will be determined by a three-part qualifying culminating with a Top 10 Shootout.
