Supercars is still working on international races

Supercars really does have the goods to become an international motorsport; I deeply believe that. The question is whether it has to bring the racing on a world tour in order to do so.

Previous efforts to get some East Asia rounds on the calendar have faltered, but new interim(?) CEO Barclay Nettlefold is reorganizing the project. He has set up a dedicated committee for exploring all options for Supercars to race internationally. He won’t say who’s on it, either, which is tantalizing.

The thing is, the teams seem to be pretty maxed out with the number of rounds they already have, there are new Australian events on the table, and going international at the expense of the domestic sport is a red line. It will be interesting to see if they can make it pencil out. I’m biased, obviously, but I think NASCAR country would love to see how it’s done back where SVG came from.
