SUPERCARS RACING IN EUROPE SERIES

Nissan were the first new manufacturer to commit to the series with four Nissan Altima е…ѓ3s followed briefly by Erebus Motorsport with Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs and Garry Rogers Motorsport with Volvo S60s. Originally only for Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores, the new generation V8 Supercar regulations, introduced in 2013, opened up the series to more manufacturers. All cars currently use 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engines, but since 2017 have had the option of using four and six cylinder engines, as well as turbochargers.

To ensure parity between each make of car, many control components are used. Cars are custom made using a control chassis, with only certain body panels being common between the road cars and race cars. The vehicles used in the series are loosely based on road-going cars. The series is broadcast in 137 countries and has an average event attendance of over 100,000, with over 250,000 people attending major events such as the Adelaide 500. Race formats vary between each event, with sprint races between 100 and 200 kilometres (62 and 124В mi) in length, street races between 125 and 250 kilometres (78 and 155В mi) in length, and two-driver endurance races held at Sandown, Bathurst, and the Gold Coast. A Melbourne 400 championship event is also held in support of the Australian Grand Prix. An international round is held in New Zealand, while events have previously been held in China, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. Supercars events take place in all Australian states and the Northern Territory, with the Australian Capital Territory formerly holding the Canberra 400. The Supercars Championship is a touring car racing category in Australia, running as an International Series under FГ©dГ©ration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) regulations, governing the sport.
