So why don’t they use the ATCC name? They obviously felt no pride or had no need in the name after 1998, so why try and hang off it in 2019?
Instead Supercars market their brand, award the “Supercars Championship trophy” with little to no attention paid to the awarding of any ATCC presentation, yet lean on ATCC stats for supposed heritage.
Supercars decided to do their own things their own way from 1997 with little regard for things beforehand. Surely Supercars as an organisation should be proud of its own achievements and the stars it has created itself? Why in 2019 are we not celebrating the 23rd Supercars Champion? (And the 23rd Supercars 1000 winners while we are at it?)
Why link yourselves to history the organisation obviously wasn’t interested in continuing and wanted to do their own way?
