The Motorsport Australia Superlicence is a racing license awarded by Motorsport Australia. It is required for all drivers in the Supercars Championship, the highest-profile domestic circuit racing series in Australia.[1]
It is awarded primarily on the basis of success in other Australian circuit racing series.
The existence of the Superlicence, and the eligibility rules, have been controversial and subject to several revisions.
History
editThe Superlicence system was first introduced in 2017, and was abolished in mid-2023 [2], only for a revised version to be reintroduced in early 2024[1].
Current requirements and process
editFor the 2025 season, teams in the Supercars Championship apply for a Superlicence on behalf of prospective drivers.[1].
To qualify, drivers must be over the age of 17 and hold a FIA International Grade C Circuit Licence (or higher).
Furthermore, drivers who have raced within Australia and New Zealand need to have been awarded a total of 15 points based on their season placing in other Australian circuit racing championships in the previous three years.
Drivers who have raced internationally will be reviewed by a licensing board appointed by Motorsport Australia[1].
