The Trans Tasman Racing (TTR) juggernaut continues to roll on, relentlessly pushing forward and gobbling up all that stands in their way. TTR has every trophy in their trophy cabinet, and they will have circled the very first Logitech G Pro Invitational series as one they want to win. TTR withstands attacks from all comers, and has outlasted them all to remain at the top of Supercar competition, it’s commitment to remaining the team to beat has been un-wavering.

Seeing off challenges from other teams over the years, TTR boast its strongest driver line-up ever. It is with that depth and experience that this ‘well-oiled machine’ continues to produce the goods week in and week out. So far in 2022, TTR have produced 11 out of a possible 18 V8SCOPS podiums, a huge indicator of just how consistently we see TTR right at the front. Fielding eight quality drivers this year, TTR still remain the team to beat.

Talking about beating TTR, the last team to take a V8SCOPS drivers title away from TTR was the Evolution Racing Team (ERT). In 2019, and with a huge effort from within the team, ERT was able to win the 2019 V8SCOPS drivers title with Jarrad Filsell. Not only did they win, but they also got second with Ethan Grigg-Gault and that years Bathurst 1000 win. ERT then, has the last bragging rights on TTR, a long time ago now but ERT has been rebuilding, recruiting and is re energised to make its way back.

ERT fields a very experienced and fast driver line-up. The class and resolve of those at ERT show as they begin to challenge at the very front once again, after a couple of lean years, a champion team always finds its way back.

A long time staple of the Supercar community, Synergy Sim Racing (SSR) has always been there, and has always been a competitive team. SSR has been a big part of the Supercar community since 2014, but interestingly has never achieved the results of the likes of TTR, ERT or even Pursuit Sim Racing on a consistent basis. Don’t get us wrong, SSR has won in V8SCOPS and been competitive, but they were never really considered a championship threat.

That has all changed this year! SSR merged with United Sim Sports late last year, which brought all time V8SCOPS champion Jarrad Filsell to the team. Jarrads recent form undoubtedly makes him the man to beat, but bolstering the line-up will be Jackson Souslin-Harlow (JSH). SSR emerge as the new challengers to TTR, a team on the rise and possibly the team to beat.

It’s going to be an exciting and enthralling battle between the three super teams, one we think may even spill over at times.

You can’t look past TTR’s depth. Even though SSR has more drivers, they need those drivers to be consistently pushing up deep inside the top 10 to assist their stars, Filsell, JSH and team affiliate Brodie Kosteki.

We have no doubt TTR will regularly infiltrate the top 10 and podium spots with their long list of top quality drivers, so it will be up to SSR to lift and compete. ERT will be competitive but were not sure they will have enough backup at the front of the field to consistently challenge for race wins.

Of course, we expect to see other teams produce some stunning results, most notably probably Pursuit Sim Racing’s Andrew Gilliam, but the sheer concentration of top quality drivers in top teams will make it hard.

The endurance driver announcements will be interesting to watch in the coming weeks and months as the endurance races may just decide the 2022 Logitech G Pro Invitational championship.

One thing is for sure, it will be one hell of a season watching the heavy hitters of Supercars go head to head. Bring it on!
