Gen3 Supercars would shine at Phillip Island

KAI Allen believes Gen3 Supercars would put on a show at Phillip Island if the Victorian venue was ever to return to the calendar.

Allen relished an opportunity to drive an ex-Erebus Motorsport Mercedes-AMG Supercar at the weekend’s Phillip Island Classic.

All the while, there is intrigue around the prospect of a potential Supercars/Phillip Island renaissance in the wake of MotoGP’s decision to shift its annual Aussie visit to Adelaide starting next year.

Phillip Island is just about as picturesque as any circuit in the world and features sweeping, undulating sections of track.

With less aero on this generation of Supercar than its predecessors, Allen reckons the racing would be a must-watch.

“I’d absolutely love it. It’s such a cool venue,” he told V8 Sleuth.

“I think it’s a bit of a shame we don’t race here anymore.

“I’m fortunate to get to do these opportunities and these events to actually get to go around this beautiful track.

“I’d love for Supercars to come back here, I think it would be pretty lively in the Gen3s.

“Obviously there’s a bit less aero so the cars would be dancing around a bit. I feel like the racing would be really good.”

Supercars last raced at Phillip Island in 2019.
