The 2026 Supercars Sandown race is eagerly anticipated by fans and racers alike, yet something fundamental is missing - the revival of the Official Retro Round status. I cherished the times when Sandown was celebrated as the Retro Round, marked by vibrant creativity and camaraderie.

The excitement and creativity displayed by the teams with their retro liveries, the fun pranks and joyful antics of our beloved drivers leading up to and during the Race Weekend. Those were the events that made the Sandown round extraordinary, drawing in not just the loyal fans, but also new viewers eager for a splash of nostalgia mixed with the high-speed adrenaline of Supercars racing.

The absence of the retro theme in recent years has left a gap in our hearts and in the soul of Sandown itself. Reviving Sandown as the Official Retro Round wouldn't just relive past memories; it would enhance the charm and allure of the event for everyone involved. It will serve as a bridge linking the rich history of motorsports to the innovations of today.

Supercars, by reinstating Sandown as the Official Retro Round for 2026, you'd be bringing back the colour, laughter, and excitement that fans across the nation have missed. It not only pays homage to the past but also promises a richer and more engaging future.

Let us come together to urge Supercars to make Sandown the Official Retro Round once more. Your support can help bring back the essence of what makes Sandown special and truly unique.

Let's restore the cherished tradition and inject renewed enthusiasm into the 2026 event. Sign the petition to bring the nostalgic magic back to Sandown.
