Fan favourite Supercars television personality Mark Larkham has claimed this year’s Supercars Media Award.

It is the first time the popular analyst and pit lane reporter has won the title since joining the commentary team in 2006 after wrapping up a career as a driver and team owner.

Known for his ability to unravel and explain key technical aspects of motorsport to the Supercars television audience in a way like no other, Larkham excels his role, infusing it with a distinctive blend of concise yet passionate expertise and humour.

"I'm blown away, I had no idea," a shocked Larkham said on the broadcast.

He was surprised with the award live during broadcast of this weekend’s Repco Supercars Championship season finale, the VAILO Adelaide 500.

"I'm flattered, I'm humbled, I'm honoured... this is a team of people.

"This is very cool... if I put my hand on my heart, this one's for the fans, because they had my back a little while back.

"It gives me great personal joy and pleasure to know that they enjoy what we do."

Larkham becomes the 22nd different winner of the Supercars Media Award since its inception in 1999.
