The name of the event comes from its corporate sponsor, BigPond (a brand name of Telstra) and despite being called the BigPond "400", the total race distance is actually only 360 kilometres.

Like most V8 Supercar events, the BigPond 400 is staged over a three-day weekend (Friday-Sunday). Practice is held on Friday with a 55-minute qualifying session on Saturday, followed by the first of three 120-kilometre (approx. 75-mile) races. The final two races are held on Sunday. The winner of the event is determined by points accumulated over all three races.

In 2009,the Bigpond 400 will move from its traditional 3rd-4th round spot, to the 13th (second last) round.
