V8 Supercar drivers' salaries vary widely depending on their team, experience, and success, but top drivers have earned as much as around $1 million AUD per year in recent years. Most frontrunning drivers earn between $400,000 to $900,000 AUD annually, with superstar drivers sometimes exceeding $1 million. Midfield drivers or those in smaller teams often earn significantly less, with some deals starting around $60,000 AUD for part-time endurance co-drivers. Many drivers also benefit from performance bonuses and sponsorship deals that can supplement their base pay. About 18 full-time drivers in the series are reported to earn decent wages, while some drivers partially or fully fund their drives themselves. Salaries have been a topic of discussion, including talks about introducing a salary cap, but there is no unified salary structure across the sport as contracts are negotiated individually with teams.
