The 2024 Supercars season is kicking off with a bang at the Thrifty Bathurst 500, showcasing a wide-open championship without the reigning champion. With all 24 car liveries revealed, fans are gearing up for an exciting season of high-octane racing. New Erebus driver Le Brocq is set to make a mark after his impressive last season, adding to the teams to watch as the season commences. Amid off-track drama and on-track brawls, the pre-season buzz has set the stage for an action-packed Supercars series.

As the newest Frankenstein Supercar hits the tracks, excitement brews as the Tickford Racing Super2 recruit takes the wheel of a Gen2-spec Ford Mustang with a unique racing history. Adding to the roster of talent, McDreamy, Murphy, and a father-son duo are among the rookies to watch, promising an influx of fresh energy and competition on the circuit. The Bathurst 500 schedule and start time are eagerly awaited, setting the scene for a thrilling return of Supercars to the iconic Mount Panorama Circuit.

In a dramatic turn of events, Erebus bosses have been embroiled in silence regarding the Kostecki saga, with conflicting statements and emotional interviews highlighting the tension within the team. With ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brodie Kostecki's absence from the Bathurst 500, the reigning Supercars champion's future hangs in the balance, adding a layer of intrigue to the already intense season.

In a nail-biting finish, Allen edges out Murray by a mere 0.003s in Bathurst, marking a thrilling start to the on-track action. Additionally, Erebus boss Barry Ryan's emotional defense against the bullying accusations sheds light on the behind-the-scenes drama gripping the Supercars community.
