The Aussie series has made little secret of its plans to make use of the longer December days and push the finish of the 2021 Great Race into a prime time slot.

Supercars CEO Sean Seamer confirmed recently that free-to-air broadcaster Seven had agreed to push its evening news broadcast back to make way for the race finish.

The series has now formally confirmed that the race will start at 12:15pm.

As usual track action for Supercars will kick off on Thursday, however the six hour-long practice sessions have this year been divided equally across Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Three of those sessions, one each day, will be for additional drivers only.

Qualifying will take place at 4:35pm on the Friday and the Top 10 Shootout at 5:05 on Saturday.
