“Expanding our Super2 programme is an important step for us and for the broader driver pathway in Australian motorsport. It’s about creating opportunity and providing the right environment for young drivers to develop.
“Lochie’s results through the 2025 season showed real pace and talent, while Bailey’s progress in his rookie year laid a strong foundation to build from. Our focus is on development and performance, and on giving drivers the tools they need to take that next step toward Supercars.”

“I didn’t want to come back just to make up the numbers. There’s definitely some unfinished business for me, and I’m coming in with that clear focus. The team has shown they’re building something strong, and I feel like this is the right place for me to push for the championship again.”

“We built a good foundation last season and I learnt a lot, so I’m ready to come back and see what we can achieve. Continuing with the team gives me real confidence heading into the new year, and I’m looking forward to having Lochie alongside me as both a teammate and a benchmark.”
