Favorites for the series

There are several returning drivers from the 2020 Eseries this time out. Defending champion Dayne Warren is here to try and retain his crown, having won round one. Madison Down, driving for the Brad Jones Racing team, is another returning contender. Madison placed third overall in last year’s series. Last year’s fourth placed Jarrad Filsell, and fifth placed Jordan Caruso, are also back to improve on their 2020 results.

Several Rookies have entered the competition this year too, along with some new teams. These rookies however are no strangers to sim racing. While this may be their first Supercars Eseries, the likes of Simon Feigl, Ethan Warren and Josh Anderson have proven themselves on the track.

Fan favorite commentators Neil Crompton and Chad Neylon are back to host and call the races, along with Johnathon Simon.

Cash Converters Pro Eseries

While the action in round one of the Pro Eseries was far less controversial than the chaos in the All Star Series, the Pro drivers are accustomed to sim racing. Both Eseries’ are run on the iRacing platform, with round two arriving next week.

The Cash Converters Supercars Pro Eseries is on every Wednesday night (AEST) live on Fox Sports 506, Kayo, 7Plus, Sky NZ and Supercars social media channels, including Twitch.
