As we get ready for the first round of the new Supercars Championship season, we were proud to take the covers off our new livery for our PremiAir Racing Camaros this afternoon – just one exciting facet of our new approach for 2026.
Featured prominently in the new look is Nulon, joining us for the third year as a major partner, alongside HIFLEX Mobile Hose Repair and Sailor Studio, who have both been with us since we first rolled out in 2022 for the opening round of that season. We are also pleased to welcome Mr Umami to the PremiAir Racing partner family for the 2026 Supercars Championship season.
Back then, it was here at Sydney Motorsport Park that we began our Supercars journey, and tomorrow we will once again take to SMP to officially begin our fifth season.
Coming off 10th place in the Team’s Championship and with a double driver change, some might expect that 2026 will be a rebuilding year for us – but that is not how we see it.
Roland Dane is family within our team now, sitting in the Team Principal’s seat and focused on the job at hand.
Under his leadership, the goal is on performance from day one. As part of this, he has made it clear there are internal expectations to meet, even if he is not publicly outlining them. He has never been one for bold predictions, preferring to prove it on track before talking about it, and I can tell you the message for the team is simple: let the results do the talking.
Having said that, I can say I am feeling invigorated about the season ahead. We have put in place a very strong structure for us to launch from, and with Roland and our new drivers combining with those team members who are continuing on with us, including our race engineers Andrew Gilliam and Simon Hodge, with Ludo Lacroix and Romy Mayer supporting from the workshop – I have every confidence in our team.
It is a very fresh environment with our new pairing, and they bring a lot of energy to our team, but at the same time, they are very mature young men who know what is required. Declan Fraser has already had a season in the main game too, so in a way, you could say we have one and a half rookies if you like! He will be working with Simon, while Jayden Ojeda will pick up where he left off with us last year with Gilly.
Our Chevrolet Camaros have also had a reset, undergoing a full rebuild ahead of this year’s campaign to make sure both cars can roll out strong from the beginning. All of our mechanics and team members have been working exceptionally hard across the break to make this possible, and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication.
Tomorrow’s test day will give us an important final chance to make sure our cars are tuned to where they need to be, ready to launch straight into racing at the Sydney 500, with the first race of the weekend to come on day one.
As we get ready to get back into it, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you, our valued fans and dedicated sponsors, for your enduring support as we head into our fifth season in this incredible and highly competitive series.
Let’s go racing!
