Live pit lane being explored for 2024

Supercars pit lanes could look different in 2024, with a ‘live pit lane’ concept being considered.

Per Rule D.2.1 in the Supercars Operations Manual, the pit lane order is allocated by Supercars based on the previous year’s final teams' championship order.

For the entirety of the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship, 2022 champions Red Bull Ampol Racing will be at the head of pit lane.

News Limited reported on Tuesday that the live pit lane concept was put forward at a recent Supercars Commission meeting.

There was "unanimous" support for the live pit lane concept to be investigated.

If approved, the live pit lane would be based on the teams’ championship standings after each round.

If a live pit lane was in place, current leaders Erebus Motorsport would be at the head of pit lane for the next round in Perth.

Red Bull Ampol Racing would occupy the third and fourth garages, with Brad Jones Racing behind.

The four-car teams, Tickford Racing and Brad Jones Racing, would be split into two.

Single-car teams like Blanchard Racing Team would have scores doubled to determine the live pit lane order.

"It is something that has come up as an action item for the commission to look into," a Supercars spokesperson said.

"There is a tonne of logistical operations involved in pit lane set-up for teams that needs to be considered before this goes any further, but we are happy to look into it.

"We’re always looking for new ways to improve the racing experience for fans and drivers.

"The commission will be conducting a thorough review of the proposed concept in the coming months, with a final decision expected to be announced ahead of the 2024 season."

Erebus leads Chevrolet rivals Triple Eight by 101 points heading to the next round in Perth, with BJR third.

The 2023 Repco Supercars Championship will resume at the Bosch Power Tools Perth SuperSprint on April 28-30.
