The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is reworking its rules with the aim of cutting costs and improving the racing heading into 2020 and beyond.
The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is constantly evolving, with the upcoming technical changes for 2020 and 2021 designed to produce closer, more competitive racing.
With experienced duo Adrian Burgess and Campbell Little at the helm of the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship’s technical and sporting rules, the following changes will be implemented over the next two years:
PARITY MEASURES
Parity has been a big talking point with the introduction of the Ford Mustang Supercar in 2019, the first two-door coupe to race under the current generation regulations.
Achieving better parity between the Mustang, Holden ZB Commodore and Nissan Altima has been a work in progress throughout the season for Supercars’ technical team.
Initially, the Mustangs were forced to run smaller rear-wing endplates, a lower rear-wing Gurney flap and a reduced front undertray extension.
Then, a centre of gravity adjustment was made. The Commodores had 6.8kg added to the leading edge of the roof and the Mustangs 27kg clamped to their roof rollbars.

1960 – 2020 TOP 60 DRIVERS
Who are the greatest drivers in the 60-year history of the Australian Touring Car Championship/Supercars? We rank the top 60 with an emphasis on best championship finishes, race-winning percentage and competitive longevity. Only drivers with top 10 championship finishes were considered, to emphasise championship performances over part-time or endurance campaigns. Also, results from the Bathurst 1000 and other endurance events were only factored in when they were part of the championship.
