Welcome from Repco
Welcome to the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship – Repco’s fifth year as the presenting partner of the world’s most competitive and professional class of touring cars.
From the glistening night lights in Sydney, a return to the majestic Taupō, New Zealand, the legendary Repco Bathurst 1000 in October and all the way to a thrilling new finals race on the streets of Adelaide, the 2025 season is set to be one of the most talked about Supercars Championships on record.
It is great to see the return to The Bend and an extra round added in 2025, too. The return of Queensland Raceway is a popular destination in a heartland location for the sport.
And let’s face it, more Supercars racing is better for everyone.
We are really looking forward to Getting you Goin’ this year, and like the years that have gone by, it’ll be hard for fans to miss our involvement with the championship.
You’ll see your favourite Repco Fleet on display and on track, plus a series of new cars that will come to life. Also, the Repco fan zone will be back – bigger and better than ever.
But why does Repco support Supercars? The answer was simple: when we joined
in 2021, and it remains the same today –Repco loves cars, and so do you.
It’s in our bloodline – from the heights of being a part of Sir Jack Brabham’s F1 world title in 1966 – to your local mechanic or the garage that houses your pride and joy.
Cars mean the world to us, and we feel proud and privileged to have our name alongside the best racing series in Australasia.
I’m not one to predict who might win the championship in 2025, but I know that the ingredients are all there for another epic title fight.
The new finals system that comes into effect after the Repco Bathurst 1000 will bring a new set of challenges to drivers and teams. Every race will have a huge bearing on the series’ outcome, and there’s also a chance that a decent dose of luck will help their cause.
As I write this, and we kick off the start of the season, there’s no telling who the final four will be when we head to Adelaide, but we know for sure that anyone who makes that cut will have deserved it – and will be racing hard to become the champion.
On behalf of the entire Repco Crew, I hope everyone enjoys another thrilling Supercars season and I look forward to seeing many of you trackside in 2025.

For those visiting Tasmania, I encourage you to take the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Launceston – a UNESCO City of Gastronomy – offering easy-to-access day trips to nearby wineries and distilleries.
I also invite our interstate visitors to explore the rest of our island state – immerse yourself in the wilderness, indulge in fine produce, and connect with our local communities.

2025 SNOWY RIVER CARAVANS TASMANIA SUPER 440
The second race this weekend, on Saturday afternoon, will be Broc Feeney’s 100th Supercars Championship race start. Broc’s win at Symmons Plains in May 2023 made him the youngest winner at this circuit in its years of hosting ATCC/Supercars Championship rounds. He was 20 years and 215 days old, breaking the previous record held by Craig Lowndes since 1996, who was 21 years and 270 days old when he won for the Holden Racing Team.

The shortest race in ATCC/Supercars Championship history came at Symmons Plains in 2017, when only four laps of the 2.4-kilometre circuit were completed due to an accident on Lap 2, which resulted in 11 cars not finishing the race. While no championship points were awarded, the race is an official race in the record books.

2025 DUNLOP SERIES, ROUND 2
POCKET ROCKETS
The Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series always turns on a large spectacle, even if the cars are small in size…
Apack of angry ants or pint-sized racers, call them what you will, but the Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series is a must-see part of the support category action at the Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440.
Around half the scale of the road-going counterparts, Aussie Racing Cars have been developed over time to provide fast, close racing.
While the spec underpinnings of the machines ensure even competition, a range of different body styles have been developed for the class, giving competitors the freedom to support the marque of their choosing.
For the nostalgia buffs, there’s the 1940 Ford and FJ Holden reproductions, to the more contemporary Ford Falcon, Holden Commodore and Cruze, Toyota Aurion,
Nissan Altima, Hyundai Elantra, Euro GT, Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang - there truly is something for everyone in the mix.
While a tightly controlled parity process has seen the cars evenly matched in terms of lap times, the Mustang has proven to be a popular choice amongst series champions in recent times, with Joel Heinrich, Josh Anderson and Justin Ruggier claiming titles, while Kody Garland on top of the pandemicshortened 2021 season.
Up front, propelling the machines is a motorcycle-derived 1.3-litre, 135 BHP twin-cam 16 valve engine that revs to 11,500 RPM, while the total package tips the scales at only 500kg, resulting in a potent power-to-weight ratio.
In a change for the category, chassis are now being produced by Triple Eight
Race Engineering, with the first example debuting recently at the season-opening event in Sydney.
This year’s Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series will be once again held over seven rounds, with four contested at Repco Supercars Championship events spread around the country.
You can catch the class in action at the upcoming Supercars event at Carco.com.au Raceway in Western Australia, at Victoria’s Sandown Raceway in July, South Australia’s Shell V-Power Motorsport Park in September, the reinvigorated One Raceway in rural New South Wales in October, with the season rounded out on the streets of the Adelaide Parklands in November alongside the bp Adelaide Grand Final, with the title no doubt going down to the wire. ■
