Supercars fans will soon have a behind-the-scenes glance at the thrilling 2025 season with the premiere of “Supercars: Road to Glory” on Amazon Prime Video. The documentary, commissioned by Supercars CEO James Warburton, aims to capture the drama and intensity of the championship’s recent format. This marks a significant expansion of Supercars’ media presence, adding to existing broadcast deals with Fox Sports and the Seven Network.
The 80-minute documentary was produced by Apatchie Media, the team behind the recent critically acclaimed ‘Dark Horse’ documentary focusing on the Erebus Motorsport team. A series of trailers have already been released by Supercars, building anticipation for the premiere. Amazon Prime subscribers can access the documentary with a 30-day free trial.
Warburton revealed the Amazon deal during a season launch event held at NEP Studios in Sydney. He also announced that Fox Sports has greenlit “Motorsport 360,” a new weekly demonstrate dedicated to the Supercars Championship. This expansion of broadcast coverage underscores Supercars’ commitment to reaching a wider audience.
Alongside “Road to Glory,” another documentary has been released this week, charting Toyota’s entry into the Supercars Championship. Titled “From Clay to Carbon,” the 60-minute documentary is currently available on Kayo Sports and will be broadcast on Seven’s platforms starting Saturday. This provides fans with a comprehensive look at the challenges and triumphs of a major manufacturer joining the Supercars grid.
The move to Amazon Prime represents a first for the Supercars category, diversifying its distribution channels and tapping into the streaming giant’s vast subscriber base. This strategic partnership allows Supercars to reach fans in a new and convenient way, complementing its existing television agreements.
Supercars has been actively working to enhance its media offerings, recognizing the importance of engaging fans through diverse platforms. The addition of both “Road to Glory” and “From Clay to Carbon” demonstrates this commitment, providing fans with compelling content both on and off the track.
The release of these documentaries comes amid increased scrutiny regarding driver conduct, as Supercars recently condemned driver abuse following incidents related to the Grand Final fallout. The category is focused on maintaining a respectful and safe environment for all involved.
Looking ahead, the Sydney 500 will be a key event for Supercars, providing a platform to showcase both the on-track action and the compelling stories captured in “From Clay to Carbon.” The success of “Road to Glory” on Amazon Prime will likely influence future documentary projects and further expand Supercars’ media strategy.
