With the main game series expanding in 2025, the Dunlop Super2 Series will likely expand by one more race meeting giving the next generation racers an extra weekend to show their wares, which many feel may reduce some of the risk-taking by the young drivers trying to get into the spotlight.
There is also a feeling among the teams that more track time is needed on each race weekend in addition to the extra round.
“It would be wonderful to be able to give them a bit more track time and enable them to show what they can do, it’s been hard this year,” Walkinshaw Andretti United CEO, Bruce Stewart says.
“We’ve had a few races that have been affected by incidents at Bathurst, Perth and Townsville that cost track and racing time.
“It’s such a good category. I just want to see those young people show us what they’ve got.”
Stewart said the answer to more track time was more complex than simply adding more race meetings, and he would like to look at the formats more.
“Every time we pack up the truck and move the staff to a track, there’s a significant base cost. I’m probably looking for more of a fairness thing, with more track time at the six events.
“I’m not having a crack at the organisers because there’s a lot going on, but it’s sometimes hard to watch Super 2 with all the yellows and even red flag sessions, it’s difficult because you just wonder what could have been.
“They’re all learning and they’re all trying to get experience.”
