# 2006 V8 Supercar Championship Series

The 2006 V8 Supercar Championship Series was an Australian based motor racing competition for V8 Supercars. It began on 25 March 2006 in Adelaide and ended on 10 December 2006 at Phillip Island after 13 rounds. The 2006 Championship was the eighth V8 Supercar Championship Series.
The Drivers Championship was won by Rick Kelly, the Teams Championship by the Toll HSV Dealer Team and the Manufacturers Championship by Ford. As the winner of the Drivers Championship, Kelly was also awarded the 47th Australian Touring Car Championship title by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.
