According to speedcafe.com, Supercars CEO Sean Seamer told a roundtable teleconference today that his organisation was working with the National Rugby League on plans for the hub at a yet-to-be-confirmed location in NSW.

It would be for co-drivers from coronavirus-affected states who are not currently racing in the Supercars series, including Victorians Michael Caruso, James Moffat, Tony D'Alberto, James Golding, Dale Wood and Garth Tander, and West Australian-based drivers Kurt Kostecki and Dean Fiore.

Bathurst will be the first time since pre-season testing that most of the co-drivers have driven a Supercar this year.

Speedcafe.com said Seamer told the teleconference a number of team engineers would also need to quarantine, making about 20 in the hub in total.

"We've been working with the NRL to be able to leverage some of the work they've been doing around quarantine but being able to train at the same time," he said.

"Obviously these people that are coming in are athletes and we need to make sure that they can train and be as fully prepared for Bathurst as possible."

Meanwhile, Repco was today announced as the naming rights partner of Supercars for the next five years.

The Supercars Championship will become known as the Repco Supercars Championship from 2021-2025.

Today's unveiling by Repco follows last month's announcement that the Great Race will be formally known as the Repco Bathurst 1000 for the next five years.

"We are delighted to have a name that has been associated with Australian motorsport since the 1940s as our naming rights partner for the next five years," Seamer said.

"Repco has invested considerably in our sport and to carry their name as naming rights partner into a new chapter for our sport is great news for both parties.

"Repco is an iconic international motorsport brand with a proud history, and we are thrilled to extend our partnership with them."

The Bathurst 1000 will be held from October 15-18.
