Silence continues to shroud the championship camp as RACE scrambles to finalize the revised Teams Racing Charter agreement following prolonged negotiations behind closed doors. Teams currently remain in the dark regarding the exact layout of next year's schedule, though an official reveal is drawing increasingly close. Despite the delay, insider reports indicate that a robust 14-round calendar is firmly on the horizon for the upcoming season of premier Australian touring car racing.
According to updates from Speedcafe, the upcoming campaign is slated to kick off its competitive action at Sydney Motorsport Park during the final weekend of February. This upcoming event marks the third consecutive year that Sydney has shouldered the responsibility of hosting the season opener. Notably, a crucial structural adjustment from previous years introduces a dedicated spare weekend between the high-profile Bathurst 12 Hour event and the official Supercars championship curtain-raiser, giving teams crucial breathing room.
Further down the line, Symmons Plains leaps from fifth to second on the provisional schedule to gracefully fill a mid-March gap left by a later calendar slot for the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, a premier Formula 1 event. Following the Melbourne showcase, competitors will head across the Tasman Sea for a New Zealand double-header featuring Ruapuna and Taupo in a reversed order compared to previous years, a tactical move designed to streamline shipping logistics back to the Australian mainland.
Mid-season fixtures in Darwin and Townsville retain their traditional mid-June and mid-July slots respectively, leading up to a trip to Wanneroo in early August. Meanwhile, Sandown shifts to late August to step into the vacant slot left by Queensland Raceway, which drops off the schedule entirely due to a lack of regional government backing. Endurance racing fans can look forward to co-driver battles locked in for The Bend in mid-September and the legendary Bathurst classic scheduled for October.
The season's closing stages ramp up with the Gold Coast initiating the Finals Series in late October, paving the way for the much-anticipated return of Phillip Island backed by the Victorian Government. The grand finale of the championship will then unfold in Adelaide during late November.
