Supercheap Auto is backing a Triple 8 wildcard again for Bathurst, this time it's for Lowndes with their Super2 driver Declan Fraser.



That puts it up to 28 entries for Bathurst, with Erebus running Stanaway and Murphy and last year's Super3 runner up Michael Anderson running Fabian Coulthard's old Penske Mustang for himself and a co-driver tba.

F2 & F3 added to Albert Park's support card starting in 2023 - effects on local series is yet to be seen but likely will push out the majority of local series. Supercars is contracted for 2023

Hidden Valley is this weekend. Running alongside the Supercars includes Australian Superbikes, S5000, Porsche Carrera Cup & Combined Sedans on the road circuit; while Australian Top Fuel Dragsters, ADRC Top Doorslammers, ADRC Top Fuel Motorcycles and a variety of local sportsman drag racers take on the strip at night.

most of the field is running indigenous themed paint liveries as well

Really like that Coke car.

That was a nasty place to crash an S5000

Bikes on a car meeting seems like a waste of a good support formiula

Also not very often they want to set the track up to be ok for both bikes and cars
Can only really think of the mallory park boxing day meeting that has both types of racing

2nd round just finished for Nitro Up North; final round after the Sportsman classes - coverage on FOX 507/Kayo/7+, Sky Sport 5 & Superview

That photographer had no idea a car was coming into the barrier there

That was a big hit

Courtney is certainly done for the day

Holy shit Courtney went off on the straight into the hairpin, smashed into the tyre barrier in the middle of the runoff and ended up on the other side of the track and collected three other cars. I don't think that's happened in 25 years of racing here.

Red flag

Also that's the second major crash for Pye in three rounds.

that was ugly

2 million in damage

Going again.

Waters wins

SC with 12 to go in the final. Mostert is in the lead from De Pasquale, Davison and SVG but Chaz has very old tyres.

SVG just took himself out of contention on the restart trying to get past Davison, who's dropped behind Feeney and Waters. This'll be the first round this year SVG hasn't won a race.

Mostert wins
