Here are the latest publicly reported developments around the 2025 Supercars Championship:
-
Structure and calendar: The 2025 season was announced with a three-part format (Sprint Cup, Enduro Cup, Finals Series) and an expanded schedule to 13 rounds, totaling 34 races. The calendar features changes such as a Perth street race replacing Wanneroo and a first-time event at Queensland Raceway, with Sandown hosting the penultimate round and The Bend hosting a 500km endurance race. The season would conclude with a Finals series at Adelaide where the champion is decided. These plans were revealed in late 2024, ahead of the 2025 season.[2][3][4][5]
-
Finals concept and point reset: The finals format centers on the top drivers after the Enduro Cup, with a reset of championship points entering the Adelaide finale, and a three-race final weekend to determine the champion. The overall champion is decided based on performance across the three Adelaide races (Sprint and two Feature races) in the Finals Series.[4]
-
Notable schedule shifts: The traditional endurance race moved from its historic 500km distance to a location and format change, with The Bend hosting a 500km event and Sandown taking on a sprint-format finale around mid-November; this reflects the broader expansion and reformatting of the 2025 season.[3][2][4]
-
Context and reception: Multiple outlets reported the calendar expansion to 34 races and the three-series structure as a NASCAR-inspired approach to season play, with teams and fans reacting to the new formats and increased number of events. Coverage notes the potential for overseas expansion as part of ongoing growth discussions.[5]
