With talk of a go back to several Supercars enduro events, we ask what you consider the concept, in this week’s Pirtek Poll. A 500km race leading into the Bathurst 1000 had been established as a historical tradition in the Repco Supercars Champion, while a three-event Pirtek Enduro Cup was instituted in 2013. However, both fell by the wayside last year because of problems arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and, in 2021, Mount Scenic view’s October occasion remains the only enduro
Seamer has currently exposed that the champion’s Payment is reviewing the opportunity of bring back a 2nd enduro event to the schedule, as quickly as 2022. Where that might be is not known, although one can conveniently narrow down the listing of opportunities provided Seamer likewise stated that the 2nd enduro be such chronologically also; that is, after Bathurst. While that stance increases another inquiry, first, one must resolve the concern of whether one more enduro is preferred. Longer races open up extent for critical
variation as well as produce the opportunity of the contest ebbing and flowing with different stages, based upon weather, track setting, and whatnot. However, they are also races
in which the key vehicle driver is not in their auto for at the very least a third of the time. While some co-drivers are extremely credentialled steerers, as well as might even remain stars in their very own right (Craig Lowndes being the obvious instance), the fact continues to be that the higher profile motorists are normally sidelined for a not trivial section of the race.
What’s more, those co-drivers have the potential to persuade a championship, positively or adversely, that they are not involved in, in a functional feeling. It needs to additionally be noted that several of the single-driver events have ended up being legendary in their very own best anyway. While a Bathurst 1000 success is clearly one of the most desirable, the Adelaide 500 perhaps had the following largest box office appeal. The South Australian capital might be no more get on the schedule, yet the Gold Coastline holds the ending this year and also Newcastle comes to be the season-opener following year, offering those events a massive
shot in the arm. If they can come to enjoy the very same status as Adelaide did, is a 2nd enduro needed, specifically if it drops after the Bathurst 1000
? That claimed, an enduro can additionally be the type of point which might breathe life right into one more circuit, similar to how the SuperNight has made Sydney Motorsport Park special. In addition, if the second enduro can be held in the lead-up to the Bathurst 1000, once Gen3 is bedded in after its mid-2022 introduction, after that it does end up being a valuable kind guide as well as systems look for the huge one. What do you think? Should Supercars add another enduro back to the schedule, as well as if so, when? Cast your vote in this week’s Pirtek Survey.
