The 2014 Clipsal 500 Adelaide was a motor race for V8 Supercars held on 1 and 2 March 2014. The event was held at the Adelaide Street Circuit in Adelaide, South Australia, and consisted of two races of 125km (78miles) and one race of 250km (160miles) in length. It was the first round of the 2014 International V8 Supercars Championship, and marked the racing debut of the Volvo S60 in the series.
Triple Eight Race Engineering won both of the shorter races; Jamie Whincup led home Craig Lowndes for a 1–2 in the opening race, while Lowndes took the second race victory. The weekend's longer race was taken by James Courtney of the Holden Racing Team, holding off Lowndes by 0.7 seconds. Lowndes left Adelaide with a 52-point championship lead over Brad Jones Racing's Fabian Coulthard, who took three top five placings over the weekend. Shane van Gisbergen took third for the round, taking third-place finishes in the opening and closing races.
Notes:
— Robert Dahlgren experienced a drop in oil pressure, forcing him to stop the car. The car was unable to be repaired before the end of the qualifying session.
