Supercars is looking at developing the car racing version of cricket's Big Bash League to add to its traditional events in the future.

Although there is no timetable for shorter race formats, V8 racing management is investigating family-friendly events that feature action-packed programs lasting just a few hours.

Other unique formats that vary from the established three or four-day duration of sprint or endurance race meetings will also be considered as part of Supercars' Vision 2025 10-year plan.

While the first Big Bash-style "quick-hit" Supercars event is unlikely before 2018, two of V8's most enduring races will continue the successful heritage themes adopted this year.
