The 2020 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is about to begin!

The Superloop Adelaide 500 is undoubtedly one of the biggest events of the year, and with 30+ degree days forecast for the weekend ahead, it’s safe to say the heat is ON!

Macauley Jones heads into his second season of the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship with 31 rounds under his belt. The striking Team CoolDrive livery will be hard to miss on track with a more prominent blue car and a swish of white across the side, continuing up to the wing. Along with a new car number 3, the stage is set for an exciting year of racing!

Broadcast of the race will be LIVE on FOX Sports and Channel Ten across the weekend. Your local TV times and coverage information can be found here -
