2022 SUPERCARS PITLANE ORDER CONFIRMED
By Bruce Williams
Date posted: 26 January 2022
Supercars has confirmed the pitlane order allocations for the 2022 season.
For the upcoming season, Triple Eight Race Engineering have reclaimed the first boom position courtesy of claiming the team’s championship in 2021.
Dick Johnson Racing reverts one position back down the lane back to second in the order to where it was positioned in 2019 and 2020.
Tickford Racing maintains its position as the third and fourth bays in the pitlane order across its four entries in 2022. The combined efforts of Cameron Waters and James Courtney scored those two entries third in the team’s championship last year.
Making the biggest move towards pit exit this year is Walkinshaw Andretti United, who move up to the fifth bay ahead of Erebus Motorsport, Brad Jones Racing (two bays, four entries), Team 18, Grove Racing and Matt Stone Racing.
PremiAir Racing take the second to last position following the ownership change of the team previously known as Team Sydney.
While the single-car entry of the Blanchard Racing Team drops the furtherest down the order after being relegated to the closest position to pit entry after previously being attached to Tickford.
With no team to partner with, BRT will also have to bring extra personnel to rounds this season.
The new pit lane order will debut when the 2022 Supercars Championship gets underway with the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight on March 4-6.

'description' => 'The Supercars Championship, currently known as the Repco Supercars Championship, is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia\'s biggest sports. It originated from the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC), which held its first race in 1960 at Gnoo-Blas in Orange, New South Wales. The ATCC evolved over the years, and in 1997, it was rebranded as the V8 Supercars Championship, eventually becoming the Supercars Championship we know today.
Some of the leading drivers in the history of the Supercars Championship include Peter Brock, who is often referred to as the "King of the Mountain" for his nine victories at the Bathurst 1000, a race that is considered one of the biggest in the series. Other notable drivers include Dick Johnson, Marcos Ambrose, Craig Lowndes, Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup, who holds the record for the most championship titles, and Mark Skaife, who has also been a dominant force in the series.
The Bathurst 1000, held at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, is arguably the most famous race in the Supercars calendar. Other significant races include the Sandown 500 and the Adelaide 500, which are known for their challenging circuits and thrilling competitions.
The Supercars Championship has grown to become a globally recognized series, known for its competitive racing and passionate fan base. It continues to be a major part of Australia\'s motorsport culture, attracting top drivers and teams from around the world.',
