2026 HOSS V8 Supercars Challenge — Round 1 Launch

Built from member votes, the 2026 HOSS V8 Supercars Challenge is locked in as a 6-round Supercars series, featuring the circuits you rated highest.

Round 1 kicks off now at Sydney Motorsport Park (Gardner) . It’s a circuit that demands commitment early — long loaded corners, heavy braking zones, and exits that punish hesitation. A strong opening round here sets the tone for the rest of the challenge.

Each round runs for one full month and determines the Tier you race in on race night and ultimately the points on offer to the overall Supercars leaderboard.
