Whincup refocuses on management to guide Triple Eight’s expansion into a third car, Ford homologation, and engine supply.

Overview

  • Triple Eight confirmed Nick Percat will partner Broc Feeney in the No.88 for the 2026 Enduro Cup.
  • Scott Pye is retained as Will Brown’s co-driver in the second Red Bull Ampol entry.
  • Jamie Whincup exits the #88 co-drive to prioritise his managing director role as the team scales up its Supercars and Ford programs.
  • Whincup says he will not drive a Red Bull Ampol car in the 2026 and 2027 enduros but has not announced a full retirement.
  • Next season will be his first since 2006 without a Triple Eight race start, with Feeney leading the championship heading into Sandown.
