The 2023 Supercars campaign on the home straight, with just five rounds remaining.
Brodie Kostecki sits at the top of the drivers' championship, but Will Brown, reigning winner Shane van Gisbergen and Broc Feeney remain hot on his heels.
Supercars 2023 calendar, schedule and results
The 2023 Supercars season began in the Hunter, with the Newcastle 500 returning to the calendar after being removed in 2022 due to COVID-19 concerns.
Supercars then raced at the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix before heading to Perth.
Notably, this season features multiple endurance races for the first time since 2019. Sandown has had its race length extended and will take place in September.
The famous Bathurst 1000 will be held in its traditional early-October slot as the tenth race of the season.
Fresh off a five-year contract extension, the Adelaide 500 will then wrap up the 2023 campaign.

Gen3 Supercars explained: rules and specifications
The Gen3 ruleset is being implemented for the first time in Supercars for the 2023 season.
This means that the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang are the two cars of choice this year, following Holden's withdrawal from the competition.
Both cars are noticeably different from the current Gen2 design, with greater similarity to their 'road-going equivalents'.

The 2023 cars have been "designed with an eye on increased road relevance and improved racing", according to Supercars.com.
Gen3 marks the biggest change to the Australian racing series since the implementation of V8-powered Commodores and Ford Falcons in the 1990s.
To ensure the new cars act more like road cars, Supercars have intended to reduce downforce by more than 65 per cent.
This also places more weight on a driver's skill and leads to more overtaking opportunities.
