Matthew Payne and Garth Tander won a Bathurst 1000 that was heralded as one of the most thrilling races at Mount Panorama in recent memory, and the new finals format has opened up the title race. Mostert has won the Bathurst 1000 twice but is now a serious chance of winning a maiden Supercars crown. “I think every year I come into this I say it’s my best chance, but it’s starting to become a bit of a broken record,” Mostert said. “It’s so competitive and there’ve been so many great drivers I’ve versed over the years here and every single one of them has deserved the championship. “Before this year, it’s been a consistent championship - the guys that have put the most amount of race wins like Broc this year has generally won it. “So if there is a format that probably might suit me, it’s probably this new one. “I would say this probably is my best chance going forward.” Chaz Mostert is in the hunt for a maiden title.

(Photo by Daniel Kalisz/Getty Images) A 14-round Supercars Championship calendar has been revealed for 2026, a year in which Toyota officially joins the grid to challenge the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro and racing debuts on New Zealand’s South Island. In a landmark move, the opening day of the 2026 Championship at Sydney Motorsport Park—Friday, 20 February—will be free for all fans to attend. It’s a chance for everyone to witness the first-ever Supercars race of the Toyota GR Supra, as the brand makes its long-awaited debut on Australian soil. The new calendar features 14 rounds, the most since 2019. For the first time, fans will witness a New Zealand double-header in April, with Taupō followed by a historic debut in Christchurch — bringing the championship closer to Kiwi fans than ever before. Perth’s round shifts to follow Townsville, creating a fresh rhythm in the middle of the season. After Tasmania in May, the calendar’s improved cadence ensures teams and supporters enjoy a more balanced journey from start to finish. The battle for the Sprint Cup will play out over nine events up from eight in 2025, with the winner to be crowned at Queensland Raceway in August. Co-drivers join the grid to compete for the Enduro Cup at The Bend and the Repco Bathurst 1000. The 2025 edition of the Great Race will go down in history as one of the greatest ever and fans will be hoping for much of the same on 11 October.
