Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Motorsport season
The 2024 Supercars Championship (known for commercial reasons as the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship) is an upcoming motor racing series for Supercars.
It will be the twenty-sixth running of the Supercars Championship and the twenty-eighth series in which Supercars have contested the Australian Touring Car Championship, the premier title in Australian motorsport. It is the sixty-fifth season of touring car racing in Australia.
Brodie Kostecki and Erebus Motorsport will enter the championship as the defending Drivers' and Teams' Champions respectively.[1][2]Шаблон:Multiple image
Teams and drivers
The following teams and drivers are contracted to compete in the 2024 championship. Car numbers are presumed to carry over from 2023 unless otherwise stated.
Team changes
The amount of entrants is to be reduced from twenty-five to twenty-four with Tickford Racing downsizing from four cars to two cars after selling two of its Teams Racing Charters (TRC). One was purchased by Blanchard Racing Team, who will expand to a two car team, while the second was returned to Supercars.[21][29]
Driver changes
Shane van Gisbergen left Supercars at the end of the 2023 season and moved to the United States to race in all three NASCAR national series in 2024 for Trackhouse Racing. His seat will be taken by Will Brown, who left Erebus Motorsport. Jack Le Brocq left Matt Stone Racing to move to Erebus Motorsport, replacing Brown.[5][15][30]
Due to Tickford Racing downsizing to two cars, James Courtney and Declan Fraser left the team. For James, he will join the expanded Blanchard Racing Team, alongside Super2 Series graduate Aaron Love. Todd Hazelwood, who drove for Blanchard Racing Team in 2023, was unable to secure a full time drive in 2024.[31][19][32]
Nick Percat left Walkinshaw Andretti United to replace Jack Le Brocq at Matt Stone Racing. His seat will be taken by Super2 Series graduate Ryan Wood.[33][34][18]
Scott Pye left Team 18 to join Triple Eight Race Engineering as an endurance co-driver. His seat will be taken by David Reynolds, who left Grove Racing. His seat will be taken by Richie Stanaway, who will make his full time return to the category since 2019.[35][26][36][13]
Jack Smith retired from full-time driving at Brad Jones Racing at the end of 2023 and was replaced by Jaxon Evans.[37][8]
Operational changes
The way in which pit garages are allocated will change. Previously the order remained consistent for the whole season, being based on finishing order in the teams championship the previous year. In 2024 a live pit lane order will be adopted with the order to change from round to round, being determined by standings in the current season.[38]
Calendar
The following circuits are due to host a round of the 2024 championship.
Calendar changes
Bathurst 500 returned to the calendar for the first time since 2021, replacing the cancelled Newcastle 500.[39][40]
The Bend Motorsport Park was omitted from the 2024 calendar, but is expected to return in 2025 as an endurance event.[41]
Taupō International Motorsport Park will host a Supercars event for the first time.[42]
Format changes
The Perth, Darwin and Tasmania rounds will now be a timed race of 60 minutes, instead of laps. While the Taupō and Sydney events are now under the Super400 format, which will feature 2x200km races.[41]
