Why was the 2024 Bathurst 1000 so boring, and how can it be fixed?

The current Supercars season has failed to spark the imagination, with the thoroughly lacklustre Bathurst 1000 the cherry on top of a forgettable season. So bad were things during Sunday’s race that Tickford Racing and Supercars itself both posted on social media conceding that things hadn’t gone as hoped.

In the former’s post, Tickford asked: “Anyone else bored?” – this coming prior to the lap 132 safety car period which did little to spice things up, while Supercars shared an image from Titanic with the caption, “It’s been 132 laps…” When the championship is criticising its own product, that is a sure sign that your own discontent is not misplaced.
