Inside Line
Get an insider look into what goes on behind the scenes of the Australia Supercars Championship. Enjoy an unprecedented look into the highs, the lows, and everything else in between of what it's like to be part of a Supercars race team.
A new beginning for Walkinshaw Andretti United features a change in drivers. We get to know two of the Team Principals, Zak Brown and Michael Andretti.
WAU is traditionally a team that recruits big names, but in 2020 Bryce Fullwood becomes the first rookie signing in 20 years to pair up with Chaz Mostert.
The Supercars Championship comes to a halt as the global pandemic hits, which complicated things for drivers and teams who would need to adjust.
Pressure is mounting on rookie Bryce Fullwood as he strives to show he has what it takes at his home track in Darwin, while Chaz has trouble of his own.
The countdown is on for the team to see family and friends again, but first, rounds at one of Chaz's favourite tracks Townsville, and South Australia.
Walkinshaw has a proud history in the Great Race. It would be a fitting end to the season if Mostert or Fullwood could be victorious on the mountain.
Betty Klimenko gives us the lay of land at Erebus Motorsport from her kitchen at home in Sydney. At team HQ in Melbourne Team Manager and CEO, Barry Ryan, sets the goals for 2020 in true Barry fashion and we meet the drivers, David Reynolds and Anton De Pasquale, before heading to the first event of the season on the streets of Adelaide.
Off the back of a disappointing season opening round in Adelaide the team heads to the Apple Isle, Tasmania, with mixed results. We catch up with Dave and his girlfriend Tahan at home and tensions are high at Phillip island as a breakthrough podium hangs in the balance for the team young gun.
Dave celebrates his 300th Supercars race under lights in Perth as tensions flare over team orders. It's an up and down result from Winton and Betty opens up on her relationship with her husband, Daniel. Barry's patience is tested in the top end as the team slips up again in pit lane but bounces back for a Sunday podium. And David gets up close and personal with the local wildlife.
Inter team tensions reach an all-time high as the battle on track spills into the drivers own podcasts. David's vocal stance on Scott McLaughlin's domination creates plenty of fireworks on and off track after the pair come together in Townsville. Plus is it love for Anton as his tinder match turns up at the racetrack.
Barry stays home for the QLD raceway round as the team once again make a crucial error. Anton finds success at The Bend whilst David resigns with the team for a record 10 years, only to crash into the fence at the very next event in New Zealand.
We join the team in pre-Bathurst Testing as they prepare for the largest race of the year. Anton's co-driver Will Brown fly's himself into Mt Panorama, whilst Dave gets confused for his arch-rival, Scott McLaughlin. The team experiences disaster for early in the weekend ahead of the race day and the biggest prize in Australian motorsport.
The team unveil the new KISS livery and head to the unforgiving streets of the Gold Coast, whilst Barry finally cracks under frustration and walks out mid-race. Any hopes of a strong end to the endurance campaign are dashed when co-driver Luke Youlden crashes out of the Sandown 500.
An exhausted Dave reflects on a challenging year as they wrap up the season with the final event in Newcastle. After winning in this race in 2018 the expectations are high, but it doesn't all go to plan. Betty runs us through her highs and lows of 2019 and we wrap up the season for Erebus Motorsport.
