Shannons Supercar Showdown – Episode 1

The wait is over – this Sunday at 5pm on 7mate is the debut of Shannons Supercar Showdown.

Meet the contestants who will battle it out for a spot on the grid at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 alongside host Grant Denyer. Each young driver has their own story and they’ve come from far and wide to compete this unique driving competition.

Before they hit the circuit they must prove their skill on the road, with the first challenge a learner driver test. For some of the contestants, driving on the streets instead of the track will prove tougher than it looks. One contestant could be going home before they’ve even settled in.

Also in this episode, take a look behind the scenes of the Kelly Racing operation and find out more about what goes on behind closed doors at a V8 Supercar team.
