Supercars return known by end of month

Supercars CEO Sean Seamer has refused to be distracted by naming rights sponsor Virgin Australia's dire financial plight, saying his focus is finalising a return date for racing by the end of April.

The coronavirus outbreak ensured the 2020 series was halted in March after just one completed round with the June 5-7 Winton races initially pencilled in as a return date.

However, the pandemic hit major sponsor Virgin Australia even harder.

There are fears the airline could go into administration if it does not receive a federal government bailout after effectively grounding close to its entire fleet.
