Supercars Life is an Australian V8 Supercars-based television series that airs on Fox Sports.

Format

The series features a combination of behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and off-track features.^[1] This includes fly on the wall footage of team operations on a race weekend as well as features on the personal lives of drivers away from the track.^[1] In each episode, a different selection of teams or drivers from the V8 Supercars championship are featured. Twenty episodes are scheduled for 2015, spread throughout the year in conjunction with the 2015 season calendar.^[1]

The show is produced by AME Management, who had in 2014 produced a similar series for 7mate; V8 Life. As opposed to the wider focus of the 2015 show, the six episodes of V8 Life solely focused on the operations of the Holden Racing Team and Walkinshaw Racing.^[2]

History

In late 2013 it was announced that Fox Sports, in a shared deal with Network Ten, had acquired the broadcast rights for the V8 Supercars series, as of the 2015 season.^[3] To accompany their new coverage of the category, in early 2015 Fox Sports launched both this series as well as the panel-based discussion series Inside Supercars. Supercars Life was first aired on 26 March 2015, in the build-up to the second event of the 2015 season; the 2015 Tyrepower Tasmania Super Sprint.^[1] The inaugural episode featured the Triple Eight Race Engineering and Prodrive Racing Australia rivalry at the 2015 Clipsal 500 Adelaide, including interviews with team principals Roland Dane and Tim Edwards, as well as a feature on Scott McLaughlin. The series also featured these two teams for their coverage of the 2015 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, providing an insight into the key race strategies and decisions for both teams.
