Supercars CEO James Warburton is out (again)

James Warburton has already quit running Supercars once; his first tenure as CEO was from 2013 to 2017. Last year, he stepped into a bit of a power vacuum that had opened up at an inflection point for the series’ international profile, and the Australian motorsports world seemed optimistic that he was the right leader at the right time.

Welp. He’s out again. He will be replaced — at least temporarily — by Barclay Nettlefold, CEO of Racing Australia Consolidated Enterprises (RACE), the group that owns Supercars. I eagerly look forward to hearing more about what’s going on.
