New digital show Supercars 101 set to premiere

Supercars expert Mark Larkham is set to host a new digital show, Supercars 101, aimed at breaking down the technical side of Supercars.

Fans at all levels can gain a better understanding of the sport, with the first episode launching on Wednesday at 5.30pm AEST on 7plus and 7Sport's social platforms.

Hosted by Supercars fan favourite Larkham, with support from Tickford Racing, Supercars 101 will cut through the technical jargon so everyone can engage in the thrill of racing.

Supercars 101 will run every Wednesday, with this week’s episode exploring a Supercar's fundamental features and what separates it from a standard road car.

Larkham said Supercars 101 was designed to make motorsport accessible for a whole new legion of fans.

"If you’re new to the sport or a general sports fan, this series will unravel the jargon and complexity into simple talk," he said.

"I reckon if you know what really matters about the cars, the people, the places and how we go about our game, you’ll enjoy our sport a whole lot more.

"Supercars 101 really hits my sweet spot and I’m genuinely looking forward to bringing this new series to life – it’s for you."
