3 Motorsport - V8 Supercars


3 is the proud new home of Australasia’s hottest motorsport property, V8 Supercars.

What an exciting year we’re in for, with the inaugural streetrace from Hamilton becoming the 3rd round of the Supercar series, 14 rounds in total and an early start to the season with the Clipsal 500 streetrace from Adelaide on Feb 23/24.

We’ll have full coverage of all the rounds, as well as a new half-hour show called “V8 Xtra” supplied by our colleagues at Channel 7 Australia.

Once again the V8 Supercar series features a mixture of 3-race “sprint” events and endurance races like the iconic Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Here’s what you can expect in terms of coverage on 3.

We’ll give you more racing action than ever before, with an hour of coverage every Saturday of a race weekend, normally comprising half an hour of qualifying highlights plus V8 Xtra, getting behind the scenes with previews and reviews, driver profiles and team news.

On Sunday afternoons we’ll have full coverage of Races 1 & 2 in a sprint format, or Race 1 of an endurance event like the Clipsal. The final race will play in full at 10:30pm each Sunday night.

In Hamilton and at Bathurst our coverage will finish early evening, with no need for delayed broadcasts on Sunday night.

For those of you desperate to see the action as it happens, we expect to commence our Freeview channel in September where we’ll play each event Live and uninterrupted.

High Definition pictures will be available at around the same time.
