Three thirty-minute practice sessions are held on Friday, while Saturday and Sunday both consist of two ten-minute qualifying sessions which set the grid for the pair of 200 kilometres , 120 mi, races held on each day. <!--more--> A single 120 or 150 kilometres , 75 or 93 mi, race was held on Saturday with a single 250 or 300 kilometres (160 or 190 mi) race was held on Sunday. A single twenty-minute session was held on Sunday morning to decide the grid for the Sunday race. The Winton and Ipswich events featured an extra thirty-minute session on Friday for endurance co-drivers. The selection between these qualifying formats is influenced by a variety of factors, including the layout of the track, the length of each race, and strategic considerations unique to each event.<\/p>\n<p>All cars are required to use a double wishbone setup for the front suspension and independent rear suspension. The Toyota engine , for use in the GR Supra, introduced in 2026 is a 5.2L V8 with DOHC with 4 valves per cylinder. These engines were designed to be cheaper and have a higher longevity compared to previous engines, along with being more road-relevant.<\/p>\n<p>One estimate puts the season cost for teams at &#8220;1.2 to 3 million (Australian) dollars per car&#8221; per season. The spool differential, which is very uncommon in modern racing vehicles, also requires a specific driving style unique to the series and makes it hard for drivers used to other categories to adapt quickly. Compared to other modern circuit racing vehicles, V8 Supercars are quite powerful, but have relatively little downforce and mechanical grip, making them challenging to drive. NASCAR Cup Series cars are designed to race on superspeedways and short-track oval courses as well as road circuits. At Circuit of the Americas (the Cup series lap record is more than three seconds per lap slower than Carrera Cup), whereas the Supercars virtually match the Carrera Cup car performance at circuits where they both race. The cars use disc brakes supplied by AP Racing on the front and rear, with the master cylinders provided by AP Racing or former control brake supplier Alcon.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Czech supercar manufacturer Praga is set to showcase its record-breaking Bohema supercar and unique engineering philosophy at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed.<\/li>\n<li>Foxtel broadcast the 2018 Bathurst 1000 in 4K resolution \u2014 the first such broadcast in Australian sport.<\/li>\n<li>Practically, it has become contentious and challenging to achieve technical parity, with several modifications in aerodynamics and engines planned for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.<\/li>\n<li>Unsurprisingly, a greater power output is present compared to the standard Corvette, featuring a flat-plane-crank 5.5-litre V8 that produces an impressive 670bhp and revs up to 8500rpm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.sportingnews.com\/styles\/crop_style_16_9_desktop_webp\/s3\/2025-02\/Matildas%20Foord%20169.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Aussies in the NHL\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" ><\/p>\n<h2>A low-mileage Ferrari Daytona SP3 is set to go to auction<\/h2>\n<p>The series continued its international expansion in 2013 (with the first event in North America held at the <a href=\"https:\/\/carrollforcolorado.com\">https:\/\/carrollforcolorado.com<\/a> Circuit of the Americas in Austin), Texas. 2008 saw the separate boards of directors of VESA and TEGA merge into a single board that was solely responsible for the administration of the category. Carbon dioxide emissions decreased by up to 50%, but fuel consumption was increased by 30% to produce the same power as before. In 2009, E85 (a fuel consisting of 85% ethanol and 15% unleaded petrol) was introduced in an effort to improve the environmental image of the sport.<\/p>\n<p>The V8 Supercars were broadcast on Network Ten and Fox Sports from 1997 as part of the AVESCO TV Contract. In 1996, the season was brought forward and the time between events was shortened to avoid conflicting with that years Olympic Games in Atlanta (Channel 7 being the rights holder for the Olympics). In 1984, CAMS intervened and prevented the track owners from obtaining their own TV rights and instead negotiated a contract with the ABC.<\/p>\n<p>The coverage is produced by Supercars Media, a specialist production company for Supercars Australia. Due to the shorter track length of Sandown Raceway, the race is only 500 kilometres (310 mi) and runs for between three and four hours. The trophy was introduced in 2006 following Brock&#8217;s death in a crash at the Targa West rally one month prior to the race. Starting from the year 2025, a finals system was introduced to the championship. At the endurance events, both drivers earn the total points awarded to the finishing position of the car. Since the 1980s, separate point systems have been developed, some of which were based on the length of the race or which took into account whether there was only one long-distance race or several short races in a championship round.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-zut1msomd6\/products\/50607\/images\/268330\/Barefoot-Dreams-Womens-Tops-Long-Sleeve-Cozy-Chic-Lite-Weekend-Wrap-B455-92CARBON-Main__04060.1735912637.386.513.jpg\" alt=\"NBL news and predictions\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" style=\"padding: 20px;\"><\/p>\n<p>Between 2007 and 2014, a 25-minute show named V8Xtra aired weekly on non-racing weekends, broadcast by Seven. The agreement encompassed Channel 10 broadcasting six events live \u2014 along with providing one-hour highlight packages for the remaining season. All races in support categories were bundled with the broadcasting rights for the Formula One Australian Grand Prix as a single package. Starting in 2007 (coverage began to be produced by Supercars Australia), no longer depending on broadcasters for the content. Channel 7 reclaimed the rights from 2007 through 2012 (extending them to 2014 due to a lack of competitive bids at the end of 2012), which compelled Supercars Australia to revert to Channel 7 for an additional two seasons.<\/p>\n<h2>Scuderia 430 from Ferrari<\/h2>\n<p>This initial contract with Channel 10 and Fox Sports ended at the conclusion of the 2006 season.

There&#8217;s no set rule or top speed for supercars but they often reach speeds higher than 200mph, putting them well above the fastest sports cars on sale. Despite all of these desirable features (they&#8217;re outpaced by the more exclusive), rare and powerful hypercars, but they&#8217;re still fabulous driving machines. They&#8217;re designed for drivers who crave speed and come in a variety of engine layouts (including V8s), V10s and even high-octane V12s.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yCd3vVho7ok\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Australian tennis news\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" ><\/p>\n<p>Currently, the GM engine , for use in the Camaro, is a 5.7L V8 with a single camshaft and two valves per cylinder. All cars must be front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, and powered by a V8 engine designated by Supercars for use in the respected model of car, and balanced in power and weight. The body of each car is based on its corresponding production car in Right Hand Drive and with homologation requirements. Parity is intended to extend to aerodynamics (engine performance), and handling characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Cars continued to require a basis of front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, four-seater production vehicles that were available in Australia. A shift to the Repco Supercars Championship occurred for the 2021 season under a five-year agreement, which was extended to an eight-year arrangement at the conclusion of 2022. In 2015, a series of demonstration races featured five drivers at the Kuala Lumpur Street Circuit during the KL City Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>This week (RM Sotheby\u2019s will present collectors with a rare opportunity to acquire a 2005 Maserati MC12 during its Sealed auction), showcasing one of the most notable homologation hypercars. The Audi Nuvolari, marking the brand\u2019s debut as a high-performance hybrid supercar, has arrived in London in advance of its public display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week. Between 2016 and 2020, only 80 examples were produced. The Czinger 21C (set for 2025), is not merely an elite hypercar; it signifies a groundbreaking evolution in automotive engineering. Zenvo is embarking on a bold new phase with the Aurora, a hypercar designed from scratch that merges tailored engineering with state-of-the-art hybrid technology. In the newest episode of Hagerty\u2019s The Driver\u2019s Seat, Henry Catchpole explores the Ferrari 288 GTO in detail, focusing on its engineering principles, historical importance, and driving experience.<\/p>\n<p>On a racetrack \u2014 this unique usability coincides with exceptional performance, precise handling, feedback, and overall driver engagement that is unmatched by any other vehicle.
