The Tyrepower V8 SuperUte Series has today announced a revamped six-round calendar for 2025 that will see the series travel to all corners of the country as a support to the Repco Supercars Championship.
With events as far west as Perth, as far north as Townsville and south across the Bass Straight to Tasmania, V8 SuperUtes competitors will showcase the best of the series to fans nationwide as it forms part of the new Supercars racing format for 2025, with its rounds forming part of the new Sprint Cup, Enduro Cup and The Finals events.
Starting in Sydney at the Supercars season-opener in February, V8 SuperUtes will then head to Symmons Plains Raceway in Tasmania for Round 2 where it hasn’t been since 2022; Craig Dontas and Craig Woods won races that weekend.
The series then makes its return to WA – the home of current 2024 champion Adam Marjoram – with an appearance at Carco.com.au Raceway in Perth; the circuit last formed part of the calendar as the 2023 season-opener.
Round 4 will be on the streets of Townsville, a city which hasn’t been part of the calendar since the category’s diesel era (2018 and 2019) where current drivers Ryal Harris, Cameron Crick and Dontas have all won races.
The series will again be part of the biggest event of the year, the Repco Bathurst 1000 in October before wrapping up at the Penrite Oil Sandown 500 in November.
Last month, Team Motion Racing’s Adam Marjoram (#15 Isuzu D-Max) was crowned the 2024 champion on the streets of Adelaide, with his Team Motion Racing teammate Aaron Borg second overall and Western Sydney Motorsport’s Cody Brewczynski third.
The 2024 finale also saw a maximum grid of 24 V8 SuperUtes on track, which is the result of a three-year growth strategy to reach a maximum capacity ahead of the next phase of category development. That grid number will be unchanged in 2025 despite potential driver changes.
“With all the hard work we’ve put in to building the Tyrepower V8 SuperUte Series to max capacity, what an opportunity we have now to showcase our racing to the masses with a revitalised calendar and expansion into five states in 2025,” said Filippa Guarna, Category Operations Manager.
“The series has always been open to mixing up its calendar to reach new fans and partners and the teams and drivers are excited to go back to tracks we haven’t raced at in a long time.
“This year was a standout season on track with awesome racing, great rivalries and a title that came down to the final race in Adelaide. We can’t wait to build on that momentum with new ideas and initiatives to be rolled out both online and at events in 2025, and we appreciate the ongoing support of Supercars in being able to do so,” said Guarna.
All races in 2025 will be broadcast on FoxSports and Kayo, with select races on free-to-air television via the Seven Network. Additional announcements about the 2025 season will be unveiled in the new year.

DRIVER QUOTEBOOK
Adam Marjoram, #15 Team Motion Racing (2024 Champion):
“I’m very excited to get stuck into 2025 with a calendar that has expanded into more states! One of the best parts will be heading back to Perth where we’ve always had great success, and to be able to race in front of family, friends and fans in my home state is pretty special… especially now with #1 on the door!”
Craig Woods, #64 Western Sydney Motorsport (former Tasmania race winner in V8 SuperUtes):
“Symmons Plains is such a great place for some hard racing. There’s crests, undulations, hard braking into the hairpin which you know we’ll manage to go two-wide on the exit with the banking and grip available off the corner. Then onto the big drag race down the long straight to another passing spot. You don’t rest at all! The locals line the side of the track in massive numbers, so close to the circuit and elevated to the track that you just about see every one of them. If the weather is kind, then usually it’s one of the best weekends of the year.”
David Sieders, #3 Yuasa Batteries Racing (former Townsville race winner in V8 Utes Racing Series):
“I can’t wait to get to Townsville with the dual-cab V8 SuperUtes that we have now. They are so much better suited to the Townsville street circuit layout than the old V8 Utes that I drove many years ago. They stop better, they go better and they blow big flames. Bring it on.
Rossi Johnson, #333 Apogee Motorsport (previously raced in Townsville with Toyota 86):
“I’ve raced Toyota 86s on three occasions at Townsville and I absolutely love the circuit, the event, the fans and the great weather. Reid Park always promotes great racing with the hybrid layout of streets and parklands, and the long main straight. Going there in the V8 SuperUte is definitely a big change from tearing around in an 86 but I can’t wait.”
Michael Sherwell, #55 Nova Air and Electrical (previously raced in Townsville with Toyota 86):
“I’m excited to go to Perth and Tasmania for the first time. I’ve raced in Townsville three times before in Toyota 86 and the whole event feels like you are on holidays with the culture and warmer weather. It’s a quick-fire, demanding street circuit that has great passing opportunities and is so rewarding when you get the back section just right, jumping the curbs and running the car up against the concrete walls. It’s one of my favourite tracks in Australia.”
