Speedcafe has learned the circuit will be shut down for periods on the eve of the Bathurst 1000 event<\/a> for filming of the yet-to-be-announced project.<\/p>\n

The tie-up will include involvement from almost every Supercars team and feature the new-for-2026 Toyota Supra turning its first laps among its rivals.<\/p>\n

Hoonigan is the company founded by the late Ken Block and made famous through a series of stunt driving videos that went viral online.<\/p>\n

Dirt bike racer and stunt man turned multi-disciplined four-wheel competitor Pastrana, 41, is effectively carrying on Block\u2019s legacy as the star of video content for the Hoonigan brand.<\/p>\n

Hoonigan is believed to be filming its latest project at various locations around Australia, with Supercars pouncing on an opportunity to collaborate at Bathurst.<\/p>\n

The fleet of Gen3 Supercars will effectively be props in the filming as Pastrana joins them on track in his own Hoonigan vehicle.<\/p>\n

Track closures are set for periods from early morning through to the early afternoon in what will be a memorable day for campers already at the circuit.<\/p>\n

While facilitating the project puts extra pressure on Supercars and its teams during race week for the year\u2019s biggest event, the payoff for the sport promises to be significant.<\/p>\n

The Hoonigan YouTube channel boasts almost six million subscribers, with its most popular video viewed 71 million times.<\/p>\n

Hoonigan and Pastrana also have huge presence across multiple social media channels, including a combined 10 million followers on both Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n

Supercars and Hoonigan have crossed paths before through Block\u2019s appearances at a special event at Calder Park in 2011 and the Adelaide 500 two years later.<\/p>\n

Pastrana was in Australia earlier this year for the Race of Champions, where he competed against a field including Supercars drivers Brodie Kostecki, Chaz Mostert and Will Brown.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
