Chevrolet switched from the Lumina to the Monte Carlo in 1995, and the car received some major updates for 2000. It kicked off the 2003 season by sweeping Daytona Speedweeks, and drivers Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, and Kevin Harvick took four of the top five spots in Cup Series points at the end of the season.

The Ford Taurus took over for the Thunderbird in time for the 1998 season, and the car received a facelift in 2000. For 2003, the car took its first win with Dale Jarrett in the second race of the season at Rockingham, and Matt Kenseth scored his only win of the season the next week in Las Vegas. Kenseth took the points lead for good the next week in Atlanta on the way to his only NASCAR Cup Series title.

Ferrari 296 Challenge

In 2024, the Ferrari 296 took over as the official car of the Ferrari Challenge after eight years of service for the 488 and 488 EVO. The 296 is the ninth car in series history, but the first to feature a 120-degree V6; it features a twin-turbo three-liter engine, the most powerful in series history, just like its GT3 counterpart. The 296 Challenge also features cutting-edge aerodynamics that produce the most downforce in series history and specially developed Pirelli tires.

About The Bend

Although it’s one of the more recent additions to the Australian motorsport scene, opening in 2018, The Bend Motorsport Park—known as Shell V-Power Motorsport Park under its current naming rights agreement—has already cemented a high place in the country’s racing pantheon. Besides being one of only four circuits in the country to hold an FIA Grade 2 license or better, it’s also incredibly versatile, with numerous layouts for series of all types (including sports cars, formula cars, and motorcycles) and vehicles of all speeds.

Largest of The Bend’s many layouts is its GT Circuit; at 4.828 miles (7.77 kilometers) long, it’s longer than any other permanent motorsport facility in the world except for the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The International circuit typically plays host to its Supercars round, while the shorter West and East circuits
