The 2026 Supercars Championship (known for commercial reasons as the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship) is a motor racing series for Supercars. It is the twenty-eighth running of the Supercars Championship and the thirtieth series in which Supercars have contested the Australian Touring Car Championship, the premier title in Australian motorsport. It is the sixty-seventh season of touring car racing in Australia.
Chaz Mostert entered the championship as the defending Drivers' Champion, [1] whilst Broc Feeney and Triple Eight Race Engineering entered the championship as the defending Sprint Cup Champion and reigning Team's Champions, respectively. [2] [3]
2026 marked the year that Toyota entered the championship, with two teams fielding the GR Supra.
The following teams and drivers compete in the 2026 championship.
Toyota entered the series, marking the first time that three manufacturers are represented since 2019, when Nissan left the series. [42] [43]
Walkinshaw TWG Racing (formerly Walkinshaw Andretti United) switched from running Ford Mustangs to Toyota GR Supras in a collaboration with Toyota Gazoo Racing, to become the Japanese manufacturer's factory racing team. [42] [43] The team also underwent a name change as United Autosports sold their stake in the team and Andretti Global had been taken over by TWG Motorsports in 2023. [34]
Brad Jones Racing joined Walkinshaw TWG Racing in switching to Toyota GR Supras, from running Chevrolet Camaros making it five Toyota’s for 2026. [44] [45]
Triple Eight Race Engineering returned to Ford and running Mustangs, after having entered General Motors-backed Holdens and Chevrolets since 2010. Triple Eight Race Engineering will also be the homologation team for all Ford teams. [46] They will also expand to a three car team, for the first time since 2018, utilising a Teams Racing Charter (TRC) from SCT Motorsport, who parted ways with Brad Jones Racing. [47] [48] [49]
Team 18 became the homologation team for Chevrolet following Triple Eight Race Engineering's departure from the brand. [50] It will be General Motors third homologation team in the V8 Supercars era, after Walkinshaw Racing (1993–2016) and Triple Eight Race Engineering (2017–2025). [51] [52]
Nick Percat announced his retirement from full-time competition at the end of 2025, and joined Triple Eight Race Engineering as a co-driver. [28] [53] His seat at Matt Stone Racing was taken by 2024 Super2 Champion Zach Bates. [5]
James Courtney also retireed from full-time competition and will join Team 18 as a co-driver. [13] [54]
James Golding replaced Courtney at the Blanchard Racing Team. [20] Golding left PremiAir Racing, who fields a new lineup following the departure of Richie Stanaway after the 2025 Gold Coast 500. [55] The pair was replaced by Declan Fraser, who made his first full-time return to the category since 2023, and Jayden Ojeda, who made his full-time debut in the category after participating in various races as a wildcard and co-driver since 2020, including replacing Stanaway for the final two rounds of the previous season. [56] Stanaway joined the Blanchard Racing Team as a co-driver, partnering Golding. [21]
Will Davison stepped back from full-time competition and departed Dick Johnson Racing, where he was replaced by 2025 Super2 Series champion Rylan Gray. [31] [57] Davison joined Grove Racing as a co-driver for the Enduro Cup races. [33]
Cameron Hill departed from Matt Stone Racing to join Brad Jones Racing, replacing Bryce Fullwood. [38] [58] [59] He was replaced by Jack Le Brocq, who departed Erebus Motorsport to return to the team for the first time since 2023. [4] The Erebus seat was filled by Jobe Stewart, who graduated from the Super2 Series. [6]
Jaxon Evans lost his seat at Brad Jones Racing as SCT Motorsport moved their Teams Racing Charter to Triple Eight Race Engineering. [60] Jackson Walls was named as SCT's driver, graduating from the Super2 Series. [24] Evans will join Walkinshaw Andretti United as a co-driver. [36]
With Triple Eight Race Engineering switching brands from Chevrolet to Ford, their wildcard program concluded. As a result, Craig Lowndes left after 20 years with the team and moved to Team 18, who started a wildcard entry as they became the homologation team for Chevrolet. [39] [61] [50] Lowndes will be joined by Porsche Carrera Cup race winner Bayley Hall. [41]
The following circuits are due to host a round of the 2026 championship. [62]
The Euromarque Motorsport Park will host a Supercars event—the Christchurch Super 440—for the first time. [62] This will mark the first time in the category's history that two events will be held in New Zealand. [63]
The Bend 500 will use the West layout for the first time since the second The Bend SuperSprint round in 2020, instead of the International layout, in order to increase overtaking possibilities, better viewing for spectators and offer more different strategies. [64]
