Supercars CEO slams pay dispute claims

Departing Supercars chief executive James Warburton says reports he chose to resign from the position due to a pay dispute are "complete and utter rubbish".

Supercars chief executive James Warburton has dismissed reports his decision to leave the role at the end of the year relates to a pay dispute.

Earlier this week, ex-Channel Ten boss Warburton announced he will quit the motorsport championship after four-and-a-half years in the job to return to the media as the CEO of APN Outdoor Group.

Reports in the wake of Warburton's announcement claimed he walked away after a request for a pay rise was rejected, a suggestion he dismissed as "complete and utter rubbish" before insisting it was always his intention to step down from the position at the end of the year.
