The Supercars’ long awaited return to Ipswich is a step closer with the announcement of Century Batteries as the naming rights partner for the race later this year.

Queensland Raceway hasn’t hosted a Supercars event since 2019 after it was dropped from the schedule.

The Ipswich Super 440 will be held at the ‘Paperclip’ at Willowbank from August 8 to10.

It will also serve as the final event of the Sprint Cup of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship season.

At the end of Ipswich’s event, the championship leader will earn automatic entry to the Supercars Finals series, one of the key new features of the 2025 championship.

Reigning Bathurst 1000 winner Brodie Kosteki from Dick Johnson Racing team was trackside at Queensland Raceway for the announcement this week and said that it was fantastic to be here in 2025.

“This place looks absolutely spectacular!

“Owner Tony Quinn has done a fantastic job and I’ve been fortunate to come out here and race a very high powered Excel in the past but it is great to be back here in Queensland.

“It is a place I’ve called home for five plus years — so it’s great to be racing in my backyard,” he said.

GM of Century Batteries Automotive, ANZ, Shaun O’Brien said that the return to Queensland Raceway is set to be one of the most exciting events of the 2025 Supercars calendar and we’re excited to bring our brand to the fans trackside and watching at home.

“The August event in Ipswich is shaping up as a spectacular addition to the 2025 calendar, with fresh circuit upgrades being installed around the venue in preparation for Supercars’ return to the 3.1 kilometre circuit,” Mr O’Brien said.

The 2025 Repco Supercars Championship season kicks off February 21-23 with the Sydney 500 at Sydney Motorsport Park, with Supercars races each of the three days of the event.

The 2025 Century Batteries Ipswich Super440 will host races 23-25 of the championship.
