There remains silence from Supercars as owner RACE scrambles to put the finishing touches on a revised Teams Racing Charter agreement following lengthy negotiations.
The teams themselves remain in the dark on what next year’s calendar looks like, with an early November reveal now seemingly inevitable.
However, with a 14-round schedule expected following recent developments, Speedcafe can take you through how the calendar is likely to look.
The season is slated to kick-off at Sydney Motorsport Park in late February.
It’ll mark the third straight year Sydney has opened the season and potentially the last with a new Perth Park street race tabled to take the slot in 2028.
Symmons Plains leapfrogs from fifth to second on the schedule to fill a mid-March gap created by a later date for the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.
The Formula 1 event is the only Supercars round with a currently confirmed date, set for April 1-4.
Albert Park will be followed by the New Zealand double-header in mid-May consisting of Ruapuna and then Taupo – a reversal of this year’s order.
That move will marginally reduce the amount of travel time as the shipping containers head back to Australia via the North Island.
Darwin and Townsville are set to retain their mid-June and mid-July slots respectively, followed by the final trip to Wanneroo in early August.
Sandown is tipped to move from November to late August in place of Queensland Raceway, which is set to drop off the schedule entirely.
That’s a blow for the many Supercars fans in the Ipswich region, with a lack of government backing understood to be the underlying reason.
There remains mixed messages as to whether Sandown will in fact return to Enduro Cup status, with suggestions emerging that it could be a single-driver enduro.
Co-driver events at The Bend and Bathurst are locked in for mid-September and October respectively, with the Great Race set to take place on October 10.
The Gold Coast is again set to kick-off the Finals Series in late October ahead of championship returnee Phillip Island, which takes Sandown’s slot as Victoria’s finals round.
Phillip Island’s recently announced return comes with Victorian Government backing following the loss of MotoGP and will be promoted by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation.
The Adelaide Grand Final is expected to be held in late November, two weeks after the city hosts the Australian MotoGP for the first time.
A Super2 Series calendar is also being delayed by the TRC saga.
It’s expected to look much the same as 2026, apart from the addition of a standalone round at Mallala in South Australia on ANZAC weekend.
