Burgess to depart Supercars

Supercars has confirmed that Adrian Burgess will leave the company in early 2024.

Burgess has been in the key Supercars role as Head of Motorsport since October 2018.

“Adrian has made an invaluable contribution to our sport,” said Supercars CEO Shane Howard.

“To manage the motorsport and technical operations of one of the world’s leading categories is a challenging task, which Adrian has worked tirelessly on over recent years.

“He has been an integral part of the Motorsport Team and the business, contributing significantly over the past five years.

“We want to express our deep appreciation to Adrian for the dedication and hard work he has applied in advancing our racing product.“

Burgess said: “Making the decision to leave Supercars has been a very difficult one for me to make, but one I am comfortable with at this time.

“I’m very proud to have led the hard-working technical and motorsport departments at Supercars over recent years and I will always be grateful for the time I have spent at Supercars.”

Supercars is currently in the process of expanding its technical team with Category Technical Director and Performance Engineer roles set to join the Repco Supercars Championship in 2024.

Details on the replacement for the Head of Motorsport role will be announced in due course.
