We have certainly learnt that a sporting calendar is just a guide to how things may play out in current circumstances.

After Supercars dripped a couple of 2021 dates, Auto Action has published what they believe is the current 2021 calendar, due to be announced this week. Notably, Phillip Island misses out once again, as does Sandown. Newcastle is expected to return and be the season opener in 2022. Bathurst is the only endurance event.

A few differences from the "guesstimate"...no F1 GP,no Newcastle.Could be an interesting season.

Looking forward to getting this year underway.

Symmons Plains has been delayed by a week, with Supercars playing it safe given the current border restrictions from Queensland. Supercars will now race at Symmons Plains 17-18 April.

Don't blame them for being cautious.

And the latest change...

Winton is postponed till 31 Jul - 1 Aug.

Hopefully by then,things will be better in Vic.Stay safe everyone.

And Winton is postponed again... Date TBC.

If the AGP doesn't go ahead, strong chance Winton will fill that date.
