PremiAir and Erebus refuse to sign new Supercars charter

Two Supercars teams, PremiAir and Erebus, have not signed the revised team charter, known as the TRC, despite it being approved by the required 75 percent supermajority. The changes were introduced after negotiations between Supercars owner RACE and the teams over event payments delayed the 2027 calendar, and RACE needed to revise the TRC to avoid a reduction to 12 rounds. The 2027 calendar has since been released with 14 rounds.

Five teams, Grove Racing, Triple Eight, PremiAir, Erebus and SCT, had initially rejected a compromise accepted by the other seven. The amended TRC is supplemented by two side agreements, one increasing the annual base payment and one offering an equity bonus on a future sale of the business. PremiAir owner Peter Xiberras said he is "just not happy" with the arrangement and will keep talking to RACE. Erebus owner Betty Klimenko said she would not sign something she does not believe in.

RACE boss Barclay Nettlefold said it was the teams' choice whether to sign, adding that he is in ongoing dialogue with the two squads and would ideally like them to sign.
