About Supercars Championship
The Repco Supercars Championship stands as the pinnacle of professional motor racing in Australia and New Zealand, tracing a lineage that began with the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1960. Renowned for its intense competition and high-octane atmosphere, the series features purpose-built silhouette touring cars designed to offer maximum mechanical grip and raw power. While it was long dominated by the legendary rivalry between Ford and Holden, the modern era has evolved to include the Chevrolet Camaro alongside the Ford Mustang under the Gen3 technical regulations, which emphasize road relevance and closer wheel-to-wheel action. The championship's calendar spans diverse venues across the Australasian region, ranging from high-speed permanent circuits like Phillip Island to grueling street tracks in Adelaide and the Gold Coast. However, no event in the series is as iconic as the Bathurst 1000, held at the majestic Mount Panorama circuit. Known simply as "The Mountain," this 1,000-kilometer endurance classic is the ultimate test of driver skill and mechanical reliability, often serving as the emotional and competitive heart of the entire season. Throughout its history, Supercars has been a proving ground for some of the greatest talents in global motorsport, including seven-time champion Jamie Whincup and fan favorites like Craig Lowndes and Shane van Gisbergen. The racing is characterized by heavy braking, frequent contact, and a strict emphasis on technical parity that ensures the driver remains the primary differentiator. With its unique blend of sprint races and endurance marathons, the series continues to captivate millions of fans, maintaining its status as one of the world's most physically demanding and spectator-friendly touring car categories.
