The 12 Hour is usually held in early February but that timeslot could be adjusted if the event does take on a different look for 2021. “If we’re at the AGP, we’ll be racing for points.”. How the 2021 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship may look should become clearer by October, says the sport’s CEO Sean Seamer. WATCH: SUPERCARS' REVISED SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED. A late-February start to the season is expected, with the likeliest outcome that a single-driver event at Mount Panorama will effectively replace the Bathurst 12 Hour. The 2021 Supercars Championship is a planned motor racing series for Supercars. Quizzed on the matter, Seamer said: “I think it’s fair to say [the Bathurst 12 Hour] is unlikely to go ahead in the form that it went ahead with this year, due to the number of international participants that the event has built over time. “Our priority is delivering a good event on the 27-28 June weekend to get going again. The Supercars Calendar for 2021 is brimming with images of amazing cars, including the McLaren 600LT, the Saleen S7 and the Aston Martin Vantage. It is due to be the twenty-fifth running of the Supercars Championship and the twenty-fifth series in which Supercars have contested the Australian Touring Car Championship, the premier title in Australian motorsport. After a break for the Le Mans 24 Hours, Monza will host the third round of the season on July 10-11, the weekend prior to the Italian track's inaugural WEC race. “An event of that nature is under consideration should we not be able to run the 12 Hour or a formidable GT event.”. Supercars are back in action this weekend at the OTR The Bend SuperSprint in South Australia. In a bid to avoid similar on-the-run changes next year, Supercars is taking a conservative approach to its ongoing calendar planning. WATCH: SUPERCARS' REVISED SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED A revised 2020 calendar was unveiled at the weekend, with on-track action resuming at Sydney Motorsport Park on June 27-28 .

Supercars is hopeful it can replicate its originally proposed 2020 calendar for 2021, which is set to be released by October.

The 2021 Supercars Championship (known for commercial reasons as the 2021 Repco Supercars Championship) is a planned motor racing series for Supercars.It is due to be the twenty-fifth running of the Supercars Championship and the twenty-fifth series in which Supercars have contested the Australian Touring Car Championship, the premier title in Australian motorsport. Supercars CEO Sean Seamer believes taking a conservative approach is crucial in producing a COVID-proof 2021 calendar. It's already been confirmed that an April date is preferred for the trip to New Zealand, however that depends on a trans-Tasman travel bubble being formed in time, given neither country is likely to drop its wider border restrictions until there's a COVID-19 vaccine.
