Supercars has revealed an expanded 13-round championship for 2025.
Several changes to the Australian Touring Car Series calendar have been announced, with a round at Queensland Raceway added to the schedule for the primary time in five years, in addition to a brand new street race in Perth to switch the Wanneroo Raceway event.
The series will start from February 21-23 under the lights at Sydney Motorsport Park, which has been moved to a late Australian summer date for the primary time, and can finish on the Adelaide street circuit from November 27-30.
Sandown Park in Melbourne, which has just received an exemption from potential closure, will remain on the calendar, but the normal 500km endurance race has been moved to The Bend in South Australia in September.
Instead, Sandown will host the penultimate round of the series, likely in a sprint race format, in mid-November.
The championship was expected to consist of 13 rounds and Supercars is believed to be working on adding one other round in the long run, possibly overseas.

Taupo, New Zealand, which joined the Supercars calendar for the primary time this 12 months, will remain the series' only international venue.
“The expansion to 13 events does more than just bring back Ipswich [Queensland Raceway] but strengthens Supercars' national and international footprint,” said Supercars CEO Shane Howard.
“We are excited concerning the strategic additions and changes to the calendar, including the move of Sandown to November and the debut of the endurance round at The Bend.
“We are incredibly excited to announce the return of the event to Ipswich in 2025. After a few years off the calendar, we know south-east Queensland fans were eager for his return. Queensland Raceway has undergone significant refurbishment and the August event will be one to mark on your calendar, taking place in a truly revitalized facility.”
