2025 Super2 Series

The 2025 Dunlop Super2 Series is an upcoming Australian motor racing competition for Supercars as a support series. It will be the twenty-sixth running of the Super2 Series, the second tier of competition in Supercars racing.

The Dunlop Series will revert to a single class after competing alongside the Super3 Series class from 2021-2024, officially dropping the Super3 Series due to low grid numbers from the previous year's season with only as many as two or three cars appearing at rounds of the 2024 Dunlop Series Season.[1]
