The Nine Network has joined the race to broadcast the V8 Supercars Championship from 2013.

According to a report in today’s Sunday Telegraph, V8 Supercar officials have held talks with both Nine and Network Ten over a potential move away from current broadcaster the Seven Network.

While the current six-year deal with Seven is worth an approximate $168 million, the paper claims that a new five-year deal could be worth up to $300 million, and quotes a ‘well-placed V8 official’ on the matter.

“Nine are definitely interested and we are talking to them,” said the source.

“All of the major free-to-air networks are interested, as is pay TV.”
