Repco Sprint Cup: 

Sydney Motorsport Park: Located in Eastern Creek (around 40 km from Sydney) the Sydney Motorsport Park has always been a great season opener. The night race at Sydney is the only night race on the calendar and it’s truly spectacular. It has fast flowing corners, long back straight good for overtaking.  


Albert Park: Hosted during the F1 race weekend, Albert Park is a technical, yet flowing circuit. The races are exciting, because it’s such a short race and every position counts. It's a very fast street race. 


Taupo International Motorsport Park: The first race of the New Zealand double header will be hosted in Taupo. The Kiwis Ryan Wood, Matt Payne and Andre Heimgartner are looking forward to winning on their home soil, either in Taupo or Christchurch. This track has several medium speed corners and short straight. 


Ruapuna Raceway: Located near Christchurch, on New Zealand’s south island, Ruapuna Raceway hosts their first ever Supercars race in mid April. The Kiwi drivers are all pretty excited to race on this new track in their country. It's a flat circuit with many tight corners which means more pressure with the brake.


Symmons Plains Raceway: Located in Launceston on Australia’s Island of Tasmania and a very short track, the Tasmania Super440 will be the 5th round of this year’s Supercars season. Having a last lap battle for the win last year between Aussie driver Broc Feeney and Kiwi Matt Payne, the New Zealand driver held off the Red Bull driver with a 0.05 sec margin.  

It's known for its long straight leading into a tight hairpin. 


Hidden Valley Raceway: Darwin hosts their race in mid June. Last year’s winner Broc Feeney held off Kai Allen and Kai’s teammate Matt Payne for the win. 


Reid Park Street Circuit: After Darwin, Supercars heads back towards the south racing at the tight streets of Townsville, Queensland. Last year’s race had a chaotic start and was won by Broc Feeney.  It's a narrow street race with close walls and technical corners.


Wanneroo Raceway: Perth hosts the second to last race in the Sprint Cup this season. Last           year it was young New Zealander Ryan Wood getting his first win in the Supercars Championship, holding off then reigning champion Will Brown. Wanneroo has strong overtaking opportunities which makes it a better race.


Queensland Raceway: Ipswich marks- like last year- the end of the Sprint Cup. The “Paperclip” had an exciting race last year. It was won by Broc Feeney, who also won the Repco Sprint Cup. Simple layout with tight braking zones, tight hairpins 


Ryco Enduro Cup:

The Bend Motorsport Park: Longer Races, but with a Co-Driver. Last year’s race at Tailem Bend was won by Brodie Kostecki and his Co-Driver Todd Hazelwood. 


Mount Panorama Circuit: The race all Supercars fans are excited about is the second race of the Enduro Cup, the Bathurst 1000. 161 Laps (1000 km) of pure entertainment and racing action. New Zealander Matt Payne and his Co-Driver Garth Tander crossed the finish line in 2nd, but due to a penalty handed to James Golding, they won the 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000.


Repco Supercars Finals Series: 

Surfers Paradise Street Circuit: The tight streets of Gold Coast are the next race. With the walls being so close there’s no room for error. This proved disastrous for Will Brown, when he crashed out in Qualifying in 2025. The race was won by Chaz Mostert. 


Sandown Raceway: Supercars heads to Sandown a technical circuit with less runoff areas. Last year’s race was won by Chaz Mostert. 


Adelaide Street Circuit: Adelaide will be hosting the last race of the season. The season final, 3 races, but only 1 Champion. In last year’s case it was Chaz Mostert, who won the championship over both Red Bull drivers Will Brown and Broc Feeney and Grove Racing’s Kai Allen.
