Our site finished backfilling the history of this series in May 2023. The history of this series is a bit confusing - Prior to 2018, there was a series called the Kumho Tyre Australian V8 Touring Car Series. At the start of 2019, it licensed its name and cars to be part of the Race Australia Consolidated Enterprises circuit, the same series that promotes Supercars and Super2 Series (hence, Super3, which was to be considered the bottom wrung of the ladder. It ran under RAC guidance through 2022 without incident. After 2022, the Kumho V8 group decided to move back to their own independent promotion. RAC wanted to keep Super3 as a support class within Super2. As such, there are now two competing series that should be considered the same series for 2019-2022. |
