The broadcast details for the new-look Shannons SpeedSeries have now been confirmed with the Seven Network to serve as the home of SRO Motorsport Australia’s new racing platform in 2025.
Having been the official free-to-air broadcaster of the Shannons SpeedSeries since 2024, Seven will continue to host the racing series in its new iteration this year - once again offering extensive live and free coverage of all six rounds.
The newly-announced Shannons SpeedSeries will see GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS as the headline act at all six rounds of the 2025 season, with a number of high-profile categories to play a supporting role.
Joining GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS on a regular basis will be Monochrome GT4 Australia, Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia, Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trofeo Australasia and First Focus Radical Cup Australia, while there will be a number of other popular national categories making appearances throughout the year.
Across all six rounds in 2025 fans will be treated to up to one hundred hours of Shannons SpeedSeries action across 7plus Sport and 7mate.
Schedules, TV windows and the 2025 broadcast team will be confirmed in the coming weeks ahead of the season opener at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on April 4-6.
