Motorsport Australia Superlicence

The Motorsport Australia Superlicence is a racing license awarded by Motorsport Australia. It is required for all drivers in the Supercars Championship, the highest-profile domestic circuit racing series in Australia.

The licence is usually granted on the basis of success in other Australian and New Zealand-based circuit racing series.

The existence of the Superlicence, and the eligibility rules, have been controversial and subject to several revisions. As well as affecting drivers' chances at a professional career in the Supercars Championship, the rules also impact category organisers, as it affects the attractiveness of various series to drivers, and therefore the number of entries and ultimately the viability of different race series.

The Superlicence system was first introduced in 2017, and was abolished in mid-2023, only for a revised version to be reintroduced in early 2024.

At times, the Supercars Championship has imposed additional requirements for drivers, notably that they have competed in the Super2 Series for a specified number of rounds.
