2026 Aussie Racing Car Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2026 Aussie Racing Cars Series (known for commercial reasons as the 2026 Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series) is the 26th year of national competition in Aussie Racing Cars. The series utilises miniature silhouette racing car class, styled as scaled-down versions of sports cars including the Mustang and Camaro used in the Supercars Championship, and powered by a 1300cc motorcycle engine. The season began at the Mount Panorama Circuit on April 3.
The season marked the arrival of the new Yamaha MT-09 powerplant as used in the Legends Car series'.[1] A number of drivers still retained the Yamaha XJR1300 engine used in previous seasons, and a dispute over engine restrictors led to defending champion, Kody Garland, withdrawing midway through the opening weekend after a bitter dispute with the category management.[2]
The following circuits are scheduled to host at least one round throughout the 2026 season.[3]
