What's behind the latest Supercars superlicence controversy. RepcoSC
The evolution of the war between Anderson Motorsport, Motorsport Australia and Supercars has been staggering.. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a builder from Bathurst, 37 years old, to compete in his home race, one that also happens to be biggest race in Australian motorsport.superlicence was revoked by Motorsport Australia on claims of"incorrect information" provided in his applicationAs is always the case with these superlicence situations the water is murky.
A driver being granted a superlicence comes in two stages. The first is applying to Motorsport Australia, which was the initial architect of what has proven to be a flawed system. The second is the green light from Supercars, which has the final say on who can or can't race in its category. Supercars, however, has retained the Super2/Supercars experience requirement. A cynical move to ensure money is spent in the Supercars system? Feasible. But that's a seperate discussion.
What is entirely clear is that Anderson hasn't competed in six Super2 rounds in the past three years. But the insinuation that he purposely tried to pretend he has feels like many steps too far. It's difficult to believe. But it appears that Supercars went cold on the Bathurst 1000 programme and invoked a technicality to add an additional hurdle to getting it off the ground.
