=== Parity === Supercars is a "parity formula" which attempts to ensure that competitors using any of the available car models compete on an equal basis. In this aspect, it is similar in philosophy to the [[NASCAR Cup Series]].The category's current rules, and the charter between organisers and teams state that "..to the extent that it is possible, Competition will take place between the different makes and models of Cars as equalised by the technical parity mechanisms enshrined in the Rules.".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Herrero |first=Daniel |date=2024-02-24 |title=Revealed: Supercars' parity contract with the teams |url=https://speedcafe.com/revealed-supercars-parity-contract-with-the-teams/ |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=Speedcafe.com |language=en-AU}}</ref> However, the rules go on to state that "The Category is not about equalisation of the abilities of participating Drivers and/or Teams (such equalisation could be, and is in some categories, defined as sporting parity). It is up to individual Drivers and/or Teams to Compete to the best of their abilities under the principle of technical parity." Parity is intended to extend to aerodynamics, engine performance, and handling characteristics. In practice, achieving technical parity has proven difficult and contentious, with a number of changes for the 2023 and 2024 season to aerodynamics and engines.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Herrero |first=Daniel |date=2024-02-22 |title=Whincup not 'comfortable' with Supercars engine parity situation |url=https://speedcafe.com/whincup-not-comfortable-with-supercars-engine-parity-situation/ |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=Speedcafe.com |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-31 |title='Wasted a whole year': Is the Supercars parity problem finally solved? |url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/motorsport/supercars/wasted-a-whole-year-is-the-supercars-parity-problem-finally-solved/news-story/f8faf4131b45642a5dea9986c55d9a03 |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=Fox Sports |language=en}}</ref>
