The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia’s biggest sports. International expansion is occurring as the sport becomes globally recognised as the best touring car category in the world and a leader in motorsport entertainment. In 2016 there will be 15 Championship events as well as one non-Championship event held at the 2015 Formula One Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. The majority of events are, and will continue to be, staged in Australia. V8 Supercars will continue to develop international opportunities while ensuring Australia remains the traditional heartland and home of the sport. The domestic events occur across every state of Australia plus the Northern Territory. Supercars internally promotes nine of these events. Motorsport, Event Management
