Overview

  • Brad Jones Racing announced its partnership with SCT Motorsport will end after the 2025 season, indicating a probable move to a three-car operation for 2026.
  • SCT’s Teams Racing Charter destination has not been confirmed, with links to Triple Eight reported and a move to Tickford dismissed.
  • BJR has run the SCT entry since 2020 after Pete Smith bought a Racing Entitlements Contract from Jason Bright, with Jack Smith succeeded by Jaxon Evans last season.
  • Toyota marketing vice president Sean Hanley stated at Bathurst that the manufacturer’s commitment to BJR would not change, despite uncertainty around SCT.
  • WAU’s first GR Supra completed public laps at Mount Panorama with Neil Crompton and Warren Luff, a second car is headed to the United States for wind-tunnel testing, and BJR’s first Supra is expected near year-end as it plans to field Andre Heimgartner, Macauley Jones and Cam Hill in 2026.
