Tomorrow’s Supercars stars will be front and centre at Mallala Motorsport Park in 2027, with a standalone event at the South Australian circuit featuring in an expanded Dunlop Super2 Series calendar.

With a seven-round calendar in 2027, the Super2 Series will have its biggest racing season since 2019, with events in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.

New for 2027 is the addition of Mallala Motorsport Park in South Australia, which will host a standalone Super2 event in April. Super2 will race at the South Australian circuit for the first time since 2006. It will also be the series’ first race away from a Supercars Championship event since 2008.

Race fans will have another weekend of racing to enjoy as the sport’s rising stars take the spotlight at historic Mallala. The event fills a gap in the Supercars calendar while equipment is transported to New Zealand following the Australian Grand Prix.

Super2 will compete as the lead support category at the remaining six events on its 2027 calendar. These include the season opener in Sydney, returns to Darwin, Perth and Sandown, and appearances at the crown jewel Repco Bathurst 1000 and bp Adelaide Grand Final events.

The 2027 Super2 calendar signals further investment by Supercars in its premier development series, enabling the stars of tomorrow to shine today.

“The Dunlop Super2 Series is the breeding ground for future Supercars champions, and we look forward to seeing those aspiring title winners compete on a bigger scale in 2027,” said Barclay Nettlefold, Supercars Executive Chairman and interim CEO.

“We welcome the chance to return to Mallala, which is steeped in motorsport history, and are grateful for the support from the Shahin family in bringing our young guns back to Mallala next year.

“It is fair to say every young driver in Australia has their sights set on joining the Supercars grid, and this expanded schedule with a standalone event only enhances that pathway to the top.”

The Dunlop Super2 Series is the premier development series for the Repco Supercars Championship, where up-and-coming Supercars stars cut their teeth as they climb to the pinnacle of Australian motorsport.

Remarkably, all 24 drivers on the 2026 Supercars grid – the youngest in Supercars history – competed in Super2 on their way to the ‘main game’ of the Championship.

“Mallala is a venue with a soul. Its name is etched in the history of the Australian Touring Car Championship," said Sam Shahin, Managing Director, Mallala Motorsport Park.

Sydney Motorsport Park hosts the opening round of the 2027 Dunlop Super2 Series on February 26-28 in support of the Dunlop Sydney Super 440.

The 2026 title fight continues this weekend at the Penrite Oil Sandown 500, where Tasmania’s Lochie Dalton leads South Australian Brad Vaughan in the standings heading into the penultimate round of the season.
