Sandown Raceway is set to host the Australian Endurance Championship (AEC) season finale, the Sandown Summer Enduro, from December 4-6. The event will feature a pair of two-hour endurance races, closing out the season with classic endurance racing tension.
Sanctioned by the Australian Auto Sport Alliance (AASA), the championship underscores Sandown's status as a historic suburban Melbourne venue that remains a key fixture on the national motorsport calendar. With a two-race format, teams will need to balance speed with consistency in fuel management, tyres, and pit strategy.
A host of support categories will add to the weekend's action. Continuing the endurance theme, the Hyundai Excel Racing Association of Victoria will run the David Lowe Memorial Enduro. For the first time ever, this prestigious event will be held at Sandown, bringing extra cachet and attracting large fields and high-profile drivers from the Victorian racing scene.

BMW E30 Racing will also hold non-championship endurance races, adding variety and nostalgia for classic car fans. Meanwhile, Sports Compact will cover sprint racing, marking its second call-up to support a national championship after appearing on the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series undercard at Sydney Motorsport Park in July.
Rounding out the packed schedule are the Australian Drivers’ Championship and Stock Car Australia, offering a diverse spectrum of racing from formula to stock cars. One final category is yet to be announced, promising additional excitement for spectators at the circuit.
For those unable to attend, the Sandown Summer Enduro will be live streamed, with details to be announced. This ensures fans worldwide can witness the AEC title decider as it unfolds.
With a mix of endurance, sprint, and various support classes, the Sandown Summer Enduro shapes up to be a must-see end-of-year racing festival. The unique atmosphere of suburban Melbourne will provide the perfect backdrop for drivers to close the season in style.
