IT’S the biggest show of the season – The Undercut is back, previewing the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000, with the V8 Sleuth Aaron Noonan joined in the studio by two of the stars of the big day – Jack Perkins and James Moffat.

Is there a favourite for the Bathurst 1000? Who is a podium dark horse combination? Can Kostecki beat Brock and Moffat's record? Will parity be a distraction?

Then the team look at who will make the finals, plus a walk down Bathurst’s memory lane.

All that and more in the Ryco Burning Questions!

In My Supercars Number Crunching, we look at some of the big stats to keep an eye on over race weekend.

This week on The ACL Workbench, Jack and Moff are put to the test – which drivers have the most Great Race starts to their credit?

This is V8 Sleuth’s look at the world of Supercars, with the angles you don’t and won’t get anywhere else, with the analysis and numbers to
