The 2015 Sydney Motorsport Park Super Sprint was a motor race for V8 Supercars held on the weekend of 21–23 August 2015. The event was held at the Sydney Motorsport Park in Sydney, New South Wales, and consisted of two sprint races, each over a distance of 60 kilometres (37 miles) and one endurance race over a distance of 200 kilometres (124 miles). It was the eighth round of fourteen in the 2015 International V8 Supercars Championship. Prior to the start of the race James Courtney withdrew due to sustaining a chest injury, two broken ribs and a punctured lung, when hit by a section of metal advertising board thrown through the air by down draught from a Royal Australian Navy helicopter.[1]
