Latest News About 2025 Supercars Championship

Here’s the latest you asked for about the 2025 Supercars Championship.

• The 2025 season introduced a three-part format: a Sprint Cup, an Enduro Cup, and a Finals Series to crown the champion. The Finals series features the top drivers from the preceding rounds competing in a knockout-style finale, with the champion decided at the end of the final weekend. This structure was announced in late 2024 and implemented for the 2025 season.[1][3]
• The calendar expanded to 13 rounds, totaling 34 races across Australia and New Zealand, with new venues including Queensland Raceway and The Bend, and a Perth street race added to replace Wanneroo. The season began at Sydney Motorsport Park and concluded at the Adelaide street circuit, with Sandown hosting a mid-to-late-season round as part of the revised flow.[3][4][1]
• Enduro events shifted in locations and timing, notably moving the traditional Sandown endurance 500 km to The Bend for a longer endurance round, while Sandown hosted the penultimate round in a sprint-format race. This was part of the overall reshaping of the endurance slate within the three-segment structure.[1][3]
• Several outlets highlighted the post-2024 changes, including a NASCAR-inspired structure with point resets and a multi-stage knockout for the Finals, designed to heighten drama and give more drivers a shot at the title toward the season’s end.[5][7]
