Supercars undercard gets $400K scholarship

Supercars has announced the winner of its feeder championship in 2020 will receive a $400,000 scholarship.

The Super2 Series is the breeding ground of up-and-coming drivers, with two-time Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin among those to graduate from the series to the top level.

Supercars chief operating officer Shane Howard said the new prize would be used exclusively to assist the winning driver to secure a top-tier drive in 2021.

"The new financial incentives will provide considerable benefits for drivers looking to build on their success in DS2 to graduate to a full-time career in Supercars," Howard said.
