The 2013 V8 Supercar Championship Series is the most exciting in many years with the debut of the 'car of the future' and the introduction of two additional manufacturers in Nissan and Mercedes Benz.
The long struggle between Holden and Ford has been reinvigorated with new machines and new rivalries testing everyone.
History will be made in 2013 when a full championship event will roar into action in Austin, Texas - a first in Australian motorsport.
Reigning champion Jamie Whincup won't have it all his own way this year as he takes the wheel of his new-look Holden Commodore.
