That's the feeling for Brad Jones Racing young gun Macauley Jones after 10 weeks on the road completing seven rounds of the Supercars championship.

With the regular schedule disrupted by COVID-19, teams raced in supersprint events at Sydney Motorsport Park, Darwin's Hidden Valley, Townsville and Tailem Bend in South Australia to set the season up for a fitting finale at the Bathurst 1000 later this month.

Jones said the team is fortunate to be able to come back to Albury before making the trip to Bathurst, with the championship's Melbourne-based outfits unable to return to Victoria.

"Sleeping in over 10 hotel beds, it's kind of refreshing to be back in your own bed," Jones said.

"We've definitely all had stints away from home, but probably not to that extent.

"Some of the guys have families and young children, so it's a different experience for everyone, but it was definitely strange."

Jones admitted while there were logistical challenges being away from the team's base for an extended period, the experience brought everyone closer together.

"Some of the guys are from Melbourne so you can spend more time together and build relationships, which is super important in our game," he said.

"We had some up and down race results, but we definitely improved a lot.

"It was kind of cool to do one race and work out what you need to do for the next one. You don't have to wait a year to get back there."

But there's little time for rest for the team with a mountain of work to be done before the 2020 season winds up at Bathurst.

"I think we've got four or five gearboxes to rebuild and all the components we would normally do in between each round, you didn't really get a chance to do that properly," Jones said.

"You're sending parts to random hotel locations, but you've got to make do.

"I think that's what motorsport is really good at, we improvise a lot with things that need to be done."

Jones said he has adjusted to not having big crowds at races this year, but knows it will be vastly different at Bathurst with just 4000 reserved seat spectators permitted to enter Mount Panorama.

"We usually have hundreds of thousands of people coming across the whole weekend and it's going to be a strange feeling not having them there," he said.

"Another strange point is that we haven't seen our co-drivers. Normally we have the Sandown 500 in the lead up and we don't have that now.

"You're trying to sort everything out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday before you get into the big race on Sunday."

Jones is grateful for the effort of Supercars officials and all the teams to make the season possible.

The Bathurst 1000 runs from October 15 to 18 and will see Scott McLaughlin crowned Supercars champion for a third consecutive year after setting up an unassailable lead in the previous round at Tailem Bend.
