Supercars
The Repco Supercars Championship (formally Australian Touring Car Championship) is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia’s biggest sports.
Globally, it is recognised as the best touring car category in the world and a leader in motorsport entertainment.
From 1960 to 1968 the Australian Touring Car Championship was decided by a single race.
Since 1969 it has been determined by a series, consisting of several events across the country with a visit to New Zealand.
Its title changed from the traditional ‘Australia Touring Car Championship’ to the ‘Shell Championship Series’ in 1999, then the ‘V8 Supercars Championship Series’ in 2003.
A simplified ‘V8 Supercars Championship’ adopted in 2011 was followed by the ‘Virgin Australia Supercars Championship’ with 2016’s naming-rights partnership with Virgin Australia.
From 2021, Repco will back both the championship and the marquee Bathurst 1000 event.
From 1995 to 2012 it was solely the domain of the legendary Holden vs Ford battle. A milestone 2013 was the first year of the Car of the Future (COTF) platform.
The cars were lighter, more economical, had increased agility and were more competitive than their predecessors, and created better racing.
That opened up the Ford vs Holden battleground to other manufacturers, with Nissan joining the championship with its Altima, while the new Gen2 regulations offer further scope.
For 2020, the series returned to the classic Blue Oval against Red Lion rivalry; more manufacturers are expected to join when the newest wave of regulations come into play as part of the upcoming Gen3 era.
Supercars delivers exhilarating and accessible motorsports-led entertainment to engaged and passionate fans, creating a proud and aligned set of partners, race teams and employees.
