Motorsport Australia is pleased to announce that production cars will run a four-round calendar in 2026/2027 under a new agreement managed with the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC).

The four-round calendar will begin at the ARDC’s home circuit, Sydney Motorsport Park in May, before heading to Sandown International Raceway, Queensland Raceway and concludes at the 2027 Bathurst 6-Hour where the Australian Production Car Endurance Series winner will be decided.

Glenn Matthews, CEO of the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club praised the category and the broader motorsport community for their support and enthusiasm.

“Production Car racing holds a special place in Australian motorsport, and bringing this category under the ARDC banner allows us to honour that heritage while building its future,” Matthews said.

“The new four-event 2026/27 Endurance Series strengthens our national presence, supports our strategy to secure marquee events, and drives our desire to deliver exciting, memorable endurance racing for fans, teams and competitors alike.”

Motorsport Australia’s General Manager for Motorsport Operations David Stuart praised the ARDC for their leadership and expertise in supporting state level racing on a national stage.

“Motorsport Australia is proud to partner with the ARDC in delivering competitors both the format and experience that they want,” Stuart said.

“Delivering four enduro rounds that come to a close at the iconic Mount Panorama circuit sets the scene for competitors and fans alike to be part of a world-class motorsport series.”

What’s more, competitors who compete in two rounds of the Australian Production Car Endurance Series will automatically secure a spot on the grid at the coveted Bathurst 6-Hour in 2027.

Event entry and ticketing information will be announced at a later date.
