Full Credit to the News unpacks a busy week in Supercars news including a busy test at The Bend and the sensational appeal over the Kai Allen non-penalty.

Supercars has taken the extraordinary step of appealing the outcome of the investigation into Kai Allen's tyre pressure breach in Perth.

Motorsport Australia stewards recognised there had been a breach but elected to not issue a penalty, something that has infuriated both rival teams and Supercars itself.

As a result, the category has decided to appeal the stewards' call in what is believed to be a first in Supercars history.

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus delve into the sensational saga with some latest updates.

They also talk about testing at The Bend where Toyota's b-spec engine banked plenty of miles, but the Supercheap Auto wildcard didn't.

Other topics include Will Brown's chassis swap and Marcos Ambrose's exit from the AASA.

Full Credit to the Noise is here to look back on a Perth Supercars round that could have been the dawn of a new powerhouse battle.
Grove Racing has been the form team in Supercars this year and its form continued in Perth with two wins and a second for Matt Payne.
But the series-leading Kiwi hardly had things his own way. Triple Eight fired back into form with Broc Feeney taking a win and giving Payne and the Groves plenty of headaches.
Is this the dawn of the latest powerhouse era, with Grove Racing and Triple Eight battling it out at the front?
Former Legend and AVL reflect on a brilliant weekend of Supercars racing in Perth as well as discussing all of the big topics in motorsport from around the world.

Our final daily pod of the Perth Super440 is here with all of the fall-out from Sunday's Supercars action at Wanneroo Raceway.

Matt Payne and Broc Feeney were at it again in Sunday's finale in the west with a thrilling battle at the front of the field.

It ultimately fell the way of Grove Racing with two crucial factors making the difference.

Meanwhile there were stumbles for Dick Johnson Racing and Walkinshaw TWG Racing, the former with another refuelling issue for Brodie Kostecki, and the latter with an engine failure for Ryan Wood.

And Kai Allen had to come from the back of the field after a power steering failure in qualifying to finish fifth – only to then need to survive a post-race stewards hearing.

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus have it all covered.

There was clashes, controversy and comebacks during a fascinating Saturday of Supercars action in Perth – and our daily podcast has it all covered.

Matt Payne looked to be unstoppable early in the day with a pair of poles and a dominant win in the opening race.

The Grove Racing star then looked to have Race 2 under control as well, only for a fast-finishing Broc Feeney to use traffic to his advantage to snatch victory.

That ended Triple Eight's winless streak... but given T8's struggles earlier in the day, is the powerhouse really back?

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus discuss all that and a whole lot more – including the controversial Brodie Kostecki/Kai Allen clash – in the Saturday edition of the daily podcast.

Relive a surprisingly action-packed day of Supercars practice in Perth with the Friday edition of our daily podcast.

Supercars hit the Wanneroo circuit for two practice sessions today, one dominated by a PremiAir pair sporting extra tyres, and the second by series leader Matt Payne.

Payne's effort came ahead of a number of fast Fords, while it was a slow start for the Toyotas – particularly the Walkinshaw cars.

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus unpack all of the practice action, as well as delving into the speculation that a mid-season driver switch is, or at least, was on the cards.
