The championship will be contested across 12 rounds, starting with the Bathurst 500 in February, which will be contested over two 250-kilometer races. The season will conclude on November 14-17 on the streets of Adelaide.
In this article, we will preview the upcoming season, including the early favourites for the title, the rising stars of the sport, and bold predictions for the new season, with the latest supercar news.
Early Favourites for the Title
The 2024 Supercars Championship is expected to be a closely contested affair, with several drivers in the running for the title. One of the early favourites for the title is Chaz Mostert, who has been in excellent form in recent seasons. Mostert has been a consistent performer in the championship, finishing in the top five in each of the last three seasons. He will be driving for Walkinshaw Andretti United in 2024, and will be looking to build on his impressive record.
Another driver who will be in contention for the title is Anton De Pasquale. De Pasquale has been one of the most consistent drivers in the championship in recent years, and will be driving for Dick Johnson Racing in 2024. He will be looking to build on his impressive performances from last season, where he finished in the top five in the championship.
Rising Stars of the Sport
The Supercars Championship is known for producing some of the best young drivers in the world, and the 2024 season is no exception. One of the rising stars of the sport is Broc Feeney, who will be driving for Triple Eight Race Engineering in 2024. Feeney has been impressive in the Super2 Series, and will be looking to make his mark in the Supercars Championship.
Another driver to watch out for is Aaron Love, who will be driving for Blanchard Racing Team in 2024. Love has been impressive in the Super2 Series, and will be looking to make his mark in the Supercars Championship. He will be driving alongside Tim Slade, who is an experienced driver and will be able to provide guidance to Love.
Bold Predictions for the New Season
As mentioned earlier, the 2024 Supercars Championship is expected to be a closely contested affair, with several drivers in the running for the title. However, there are a few bold, early predictions that we can make for the new season.
King Kostecki Can Contend Again
It was a year to remember for the 26 year old rookie and Erebus Motorsport, beating the legendary Triple Eight team of three-time champion Shane van Gisbergen and talented young gun Broc Feeney. Kostecki was in rare air, winning the championship in the same year as taking their first win. The real question is can he do it again? If his 2023 is anything to go by, he and partner Will Brown are serious contenders to go back to back.
Mostert the Man to Beat
As much as we enjoyed Brodie Kostecki taking out the title, our very early bird call for the 2024 season is that Chaz Mostert will win the championship. Mostert has been in excellent form in recent seasons, and will be driving for Walkinshaw Andretti United in 2024. He will be looking to build on his impressive record, and we believe that he has what it takes to win the championship.
Debut for Broc
With so many new faces coming through the ranks, our bold prediction is that young gun Broc Feeney will win a race in his debut season. Feeney has been impressive in the Super2 Series, and will be driving for Triple Eight Race Engineering in 2024. He will be looking to make his mark in the Supercars Championship, and we believe that he has the talent to win a race in his debut season.
A Dramatic Finish to the Season
Finally, we predict that the 2024 Supercars Championship will be one of the most exciting and closely contested seasons in recent years. With several drivers in the running for the title, and many rising stars of the sport, we believe that the championship will be closely contested and full of surprises.
The new season is just around the corner and many believe the 2024 Supercars Championship is shaping up to be an exciting season, with many changes in the driver line-ups and the calendar. Stay up to date with the latest supercar and Formula 1 news, as we countdown to the 2024 season.
