The Australian Vee Eight Supercar Company (AVESCO) was later formed to run the series directly and later became an independent organisation from its IMG origins. Network Ten began televising the series in the same year, taking over from Channel Seven. The category acquired the moniker 'V8 Supercars' in 1997 when event management company IMG was given the rights to the series in 1997 after a bitter battle against CAMS and the ARDC, and led the championship on a rapid expansion. However the M3 received few of the liberal concessions given to the new V8s, and the German manufacturer’s attention switched to the 2.0 litre class for 1994.įrom 1995 the 2.0 litre cars, now contesting their own series as Super Touring Cars, were no longer eligible for the Australian Touring Car Championship and did not contest the endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst, leaving these open solely to the 5.0 litre Ford & Holden models. The existing BMW M3s were also permitted to compete against the Ford and Holden V8s in the 5.0 litre class, unlike the turbocharged Ford Sierra and Nissan Skyline GT-R models which were now banned from Australian Touring Car racing. These cars would contest the Australian Touring Car Championship as well as non championship Touring Car events such as the Bathurst 1000. This encompassed both 5.0 litre Touring Cars (essentially Australian Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore V8 models) and 2.0 litre FIA Class II Touring Cars. In January 1993 CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motor Sport) replaced the existing Group 3A Touring Car category (which had been based on FIA Group A rules) with a new two class Group 3A.

Because of this, entire fields of 30+ drivers are separated by just one second over qualifying laps at some events. The V8 Supercars themselves are loosely based on either the Ford Falcon or Holden Commodore, and bear some resemblance to the production models outwardly, but are highly modified to suit the motorsport application, and are strictly governed in all aspects of performance in an effort to keep all the drivers on an even footing to create closer, more exciting racing. Race formats range from sprint races, where three 150 km races are held over a weekend, or endurance races such as Bathurst, which is run over a 1000 km race distance, and Phillip Island, run over 500km. The 2007 Season was held over 14 race weekends, held on various purpose-built racetracks and street circuits in the aforementioned countries. V8 Supercars have drawn crowds of over 250,000 spectators. V8 Supercar Events are held in all states of Australia, as well as rounds in New Zealand and Bahrain.
