“It also ensures that the vision that the fans see, both on their televisions at home, online through social applications and via the live stream, will be of the highest standard.

“It’s fantastic that we have been able to come to an agreement that will bring TCR Australia, S5000 and our other great categories to life, not only on the live and free Seven broadcasts, but also on the 7plus streaming application.”

Supercars Media GM of TV and content Nathan Prendegast said: “Supercars Media is excited to be able to deliver the broadcast product for ARG and Motorsport Australia in 2020.

“Our speciality is world class motorsport TV, so it’s a natural fit for us to collaborate with ARG to ensure fans get a level of coverage they expect.

“Having worked closely with their team for many years I’m confident we have the right team to make outstanding motorsport television.”

Supercars Media has been responsible for the production of the Supercars Championship since 2007, creating and broadcasting motorsport vision that is regarded as a global industry leader.

Supercars Media’s television broadcast of the Bathurst 1000 has won seven Logie Awards for the Most Outstanding Sports Coverage. The most recent being the 2017 Bathurst 1000.
