Here’s the latest I can share on the 2025 Supercars Championship.
Calendar and formats: The 2025 season expanded to 13 rounds, with notable schedule changes including a return to Queensland Raceway and a new street race in Perth, replacing Wanneroo. The Sandown event was set to host the penultimate round, with discussions about a broader Finals structure to crown the champion after Adelaide. These changes signaled a shift toward a Finals-style decider, incorporating sprint and endurance elements to determine the champion.[1][2][3][8]
Finals concept: A multi-stage Finals series was introduced, where top qualifiers from the regular season (including Sprint and Enduro Cup winners) would compete in a knockout-style format across Sandown and Adelaide, with points resets and new bonus systems for the Final rounds. The top driver after the Final rounds would be crowned the 2025 champion.[2][3][7]
Format specifics: The Finals were described as an elimination-style series beginning at the Gold Coast with point resets and then two additional rounds at Sandown and Adelaide to determine the champion. Various knockout formats (two-part and three-part) were proposed for qualifying, along with ongoing use of the Boost Mobile Top Ten Shootouts at most rounds.[3]
Additional context: Media and regional coverage highlighted the plan to broaden the calendar, reintroduce Symmons Plains in 2025, and explore potential overseas expansion in the longer term. Public summaries and fan outlets noted expectations of further announcements about formats and eligibility rules as the season approached.[6][9][10]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise dates, race names, and the exact Finals structure as officially published, or summarize how these changes impacted teams and driver strategies in 2025.
