' ....... In 2026 Gazoo Racing will be involved in not only Supercars but also Formula 1, the World Rally Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Dakar Rally. .....'

will be interesting to see how the season progresses

Toyota has confirmed it will join the Repco Supercars Championship with a 5.2-litre V8 engine.
The Ford motor is 5.4L, and the Chevrolet 5.7L.
all limited to 600 horsepower (447kW)

five Supras, two from Walkinshaw TWG Racing, driven by Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood, with three fielded by Brad Jones Racing, contested by Andre Heimgartner, Cam Hill, and Macauley Jones,

points wise, the media should be making big news of it.
This is a marketing bonanza.

I doubt the DNF get any pts (blown motor, big plume of smoke, oil on track)

the last place getter - I suppose he gets a few pts

the 11th and 12th finishers - had their pts removed as a mechanic broke safety protocol in pits lane

the 8th place getter - lost his pts as he had no tyre pressure sensor in his wheels



Saturday night, they replaced 2 motors and started again in sunday
