Seven’s Head of Motorsport, Angela Rampal, said: “The 2025 Supercars season delivered something special.

“This year’s Bathurst 1000 was the biggest viewing audience on Seven since 2016 and the momentum has continued through the exciting new Finals format, with huge numbers watching the Gold Coast 500 and the season’s Grand Final in Adelaide.

“It is exciting to see Supercars get recognition as the premier motorsport category in the country and there was no better way to have the Championship decided than in the very last race of the year, this weekend past.

“Congratulations to Walkinshaw Andretti United and Chaz Mostert on his maiden Supercars title, a feat that he has finally been able to achieve after 13 years competing in the Championship.

“The increase in viewer numbers this year is credit to a fantastic collaboration with the Supercars production team, and the incredibly talented commentators and reporters who work on our coverage. The stage is set for an even bigger and better 2026 and we couldn’t be more excited,” she said.

According to Auto Action, Gravity Media, which has produced the Supercars world feed for many years, is expected to depart, with NEP understood to be taking over the production contract from 2026.

There is also growing speculation whether the ‘Voice of Supercars‘ Neil Crompton will return for 2026 amid suggestions he has been offered a reduced role. Crompton declined to comment to media last week, V8 Sleuth reports.
