After almost a month without racing, Kiwi driver Shane van Gisbergen's bracing himself for a hectic Supercars schedule.

Racing resumes on Saturday in Darwin - the first of four consecutive weekends of action.

Van Gisbergen told D'Arcy Waldegraves he hasn't experienced such a congested calendar in Supercars before.

"We've been up in Darwin already for a week in half just waiting to go. It's interesting, but certainly going to be fun for the drivers.

"I feel for the guys - keeping those cars running perfectly, it's going to be four hard weeks."

Van Gisbergen's seventh on the championship ladder, 263 points off leader and compatriot Scott McLaughlin.
