❎ MotoGP out!
✅ Supercars in?
Phillip Island is in the frame to rejoin the Supercars calendar as soon as next season – and could become a Finals venue.
The Victorian circuit is a key part of 2027 calendar negotiations with the door open for it to appear on the schedule for the first time since 2019.
Should a deal be struck Supercars would effectively fill the void left by MotoGP which will race at Phillip Island for the final time this year before defecting to South Australia.
Losing MotoGP will free up Victorian government budget, while it also leaves the government-funded Australian Grand Prix Corporation with just one event – the Albert Park F1 race – on its books.
Interim Supercars CEO Barclay Nettlefold explained to Speedcafe that the series is in direct talks with the AGPC about bringing a new Phillip Island event to life.
That would ideally be a 15th round rather than at the expense of any of the existing 14 events on the schedule.
