V8-ERA TOURING CAR CHAMPIONS CHEQUERED FLAG 1993-2023

A chequered flag has been prepared and framed after being signed by all the champions of the modern V8-era of Supercars from 1993 to 2023.

The champions include Glenn Seton, Mark Skaife, John Bowe, Craig Lowndes, Marcos Ambrose, Russell Ingall, Rick Kelly, Garth Tander, Jamie Whincup, Shane Van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin and Brodie Kostecki.

Each champion has his own individual white square on the flag and each year he won the title is acknowledged in that space. This includes the seven championships of Whincup and the five titles of Skaife.

Whincup won the first of his two of his titles in a Ford Falcon in 2008 and 2009 and the remaining five in a Holden Commodore from 2011-2014 and 2017. Two of the former champions, Shane van Gisbergen (2016 and 2021-2022) and Scott McLaughlin (2018-2020) are now permanently based in the USA continuing their careers in NASCAR and Indycar respectively, but took the time to make themselves available to sign the flag knowing that all money raised would be going to Motorsport Ministries. Both drivers have experienced success early in their international careers with wins already recorded.

The flag covers several great eras of Australian touring car racing from Seton’s inaugural title in his own EB Falcon in 1993, to Kostecki’s remarkable championship in the new Gen3 Camaro in 2023. The flag is framed and comes with a non-reflective glass, making it a quality edition to any collection.
