The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is reworking its rules with the aim of cutting costs and improving the racing heading into 2020 and beyond.
The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is constantly evolving, with the upcoming technical changes for 2020 and 2021 designed to produce closer, more competitive racing.
