Favorites for the series
There are several returning drivers from the 2020 Eseries this time out. Defending champion Dayne Warren is here to try and retain his crown, having won round one. Madison Down, driving for the Brad Jones Racing team, is another returning contender. Madison placed third overall in last year’s series. Last year’s fourth placed Jarrad Filsell, and fifth placed Jordan Caruso, are also back to improve on their 2020 results.
Several Rookies have entered the competition this year too, along with some new teams. These rookies however are no strangers to sim racing. While this may be their first Supercars Eseries, the likes of Simon Feigl, Ethan Warren and Josh Anderson have proven themselves on the track.
Fan favorite commentators Neil Crompton and Chad Neylon are back to host and call the races, along with Johnathon Simon.
