The 2017 Phillip Island 500 (commercially titled 2017 WD-40 Phillip Island 500) was a motor racing event for the Supercars Championship, held on the weekend of 22 to 23 April 2017. The event was held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on Phillip Island, Victoria, and consisted of two races, both 250 kilometres in length. It was the third event of fourteen in the 2017 Supercars Championship and hosted Races 5 and 6 of the season.[1]
The event was controversial as both races saw frequent tyre failures, whilst the first race also saw a spate of time penalties awarded for pit lane entry infringements.[2][3]
