Superloop Adelaide 500

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO (4 June 2020).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment): The Premier has advised:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on major events throughout Australia. For Supercars, this has meant it has had to focus on how it might resume its 2020 season.

Supercars is also working through a plan for 2021 and beyond. I understand the current Holden cars will continue to feature for the 2021 season, but they will not be Holden badged, and each team may have a different badge on these cars. Discussions are continuing between the parties.

I also understand that Supercars is working on its Next Generation 3 car which is due to be implemented in the 2022 season and this plan has not changed with the Holden announcement.

Given Virgin Australia has gone into voluntary administration, I have been advised that Supercars is having discussions with various businesses who are interested in its product.
