The Chevrolet Supercars Middle East Championship (also known as the Chevrolet Lumina CSV Championship Middle East) was a one-make auto racing championship for Chevrolet Luminas held in the Middle East.[1]

Vehicles were Improved Production versions of Holden Commodore VZs re-badged as Chevrolet Luminas, utilising Chevrolet V8 engines and a four-speed gearbox. For the 2009–10 season, the championship developed a class structure whereby the Holden Commodore VE was introduced as the top-class Chevrolet Lumina SC09 and the VZ model became a secondary-class Chevrolet Lumina SC06, with the SC09 cars 50hp better than the previous generation.[2]
