George Gambino

Promoter, Hi-Tec Oils Super Series

“It’s really exciting because it’s hard to put together calendars these days and we’re really happy with it,” said Gambino.

“Going to Phillip Island and Sandown brings a bit of variety for us. We got contacted by Sandown to race there and it was a no-brainer due to the limited events it hosts per year.

“I think we’re attracting a lot of new interest due to the broadcast package, which features free-to-air, Kayo and Fox Sports. We’re improving the broadcast every round, with this event featuring nine new in-car cameras.

“Josh Blanksby and Motorsport Australia have been great to work with. We’re happy, they’re happy and the doors are open to everyone.”  

Graham Sattler

General Manager, Hi-Tec Oils Super Series

“It’s awesome to finally lock in the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series powered by Enthusiast Motor Insurance calendar for 2027,” said Sattler.

“As everyone knows, it’s a busy time in Australian motorsport and to just get dates is difficult, then trying to align with the likes of Supercars is a task, but I’m pretty happy with what we have ended up with.

“We’ll be racing at a different venue at each of our six rounds and to be classed as a national series, we need to be competing at most of the major circuits.

“Our alignment with Motorsport Australia opens up the possibility of going to tracks, which haven’t been previously available to us such as Phillip Island, while finishing at Sandown is a prospect many of our competitors are excited for.

“There’s a thirst for the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series powered by Enthusiast Motor Insurance next year, we’ve already had some new categories reach out to us. The Motorsport Australia connection has opened up opportunities to welcome those.

“Next year’s program and categories is like a jigsaw puzzle to put together. We’ll look after the ones to have supported us in the past, then there will be a sprinkling of new categories also joining.

“It’s a credit to George (Gambino) and the work he has done to get this series to where it is. We provide as good a broadcast package as anyone in the business at the moment and a great platform to race on.

“Overall, it’s going to be a great year for the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series powered by Enthusiast Motor Insurance.”

The TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series will play a starring role at each round of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series in 2027.

As a long-standing category on the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series program, the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series will continue this association into 2027, receiving top billing at each round.

Since arriving on Australian shores more than a decade ago, the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series has risen to be one of the most popular local categories featuring large grids and an enviable alumni of drivers.

The annual TA2 Tag Team event has also grown in prestige and attracted some of Australia’s best drivers to battle for the crown.

Continuing its relationship with the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series ensures stability for the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series and bolsters a packed suite of categories set to feature on the Motorsport Australia-sanctioned program.

The Hi-Tec Oils Super Series will host its final round at Sydney Motorsport Park on November 14 featuring the Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series, TFH Hire Legend Cars Australia, Formula RX8 and the Australian IRC Racing Series on the card.

News regarding the 2027 Hi-Tec Oils Super Series calendar will be confirmed soon.

Matt MacKelden

Category manager, TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series

“We’re excited to be back leading the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series,” said MacKelden.

“It’s certainly been a challenging year in 2026, so when we experienced Winton and what it was going to be, then the category directors and myself were pretty confident to commit back.

“The coverage was strong at Winton. Both the free-to-air broadcast component and livestream is important, which goes hand in hand with the quality. All this was great at Winton and if that’s the level moving forward, then it’s really exciting to remain on the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series.

“TA2 has been around 10-years and it has a strong legacy, which we want to protect by making sure we’re in the right place for our partners, drivers and teams in 2027.

“Our competitors racing at a Hi-Tec Oils Super Series event receive a great customer experience. I think being at the top of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series is important, we put on some great racing, Matt Naulty is our lead commentator giving the category and the program great credibility, so all the ingredients are there to have a fantastic 2027.

“The fact we have Super2 drivers choosing TA2 as a category to gain more miles is important and great for the profile of the series, plus in turn for the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series. It provides the perfect place for either a young gun or an older driver having a crack the opportunity to race at a high level.”

“We’re excited to continue working with Motorsport Australia and we’re negotiating with them about the possibility of Superlicence points being scored in TA2. We’re excited to be moving on with Motorsport Australia in 2027 with the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series.

“We’ve got some plans in place for 2027 and the continuation of the Tag Team Enduro is just one of those.”

Graham Sattler

General manager, Hi-Tec Oils Super Series

“We’re excited to welcome the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series to the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series roster in 2027,” said Sattler.

“The TA2 Muscle Car Racing Series bolsters an already strong category line-up for the 2027 season. TA2 continues to grow in popularity each year and has produced many of the sport’s rising stars, which have now reached Supercars level.

“Having the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series lead the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series in 2027 enhances the already strong package and we’re excited for what’s to come.”

The TA2 Muscle Car Series has reached the pointy end of the season with the penultimate round of the championship this weekend at Winton Motor Raceway, September 26-27, with the top seven drivers all in a position to challenge for the title at the end of the year.

Waltec driver Tyler Cheney currently leads the championship in his Cross Country Touring Camaro by a slender 42 points from Alice Buckley in the #150 Chevrolet Performance Camaro. Despite suffering a heavy crash two weeks ago at The Bend Motorsport Park in the Trans Am Cup Series, he says he's not feeling any ill effects and is ready to consolidate his lead this weekend.

"The crash at Tailem was unfortunate and has really hurt my Trans Am Series aspirations, but my TA2 car is mint, and although 42 points seems like a lot, it will only take one bad race or DNF for the field to close up."

"Alice has already proven she's a race winner and a title threat, let alone Gomersall and Heinrich, so I just need to have a consistent weekend and make sure I'm still in the mix at the final round," said Cheney.

Third in the championship is Ben Gomersall, who arrives at Winton off the back of his first Supercars enduro outing, having lined up with Tickford Racing at The Bend, while South Australian driver Joel Heinrich, currently fourth in the championship, will line up at Winton for the first time in a TA2 car this weekend, following a tough round in the Trans Am Cup Series at The Bend.

Both Tommy Smith and Brock Paine return to the TA2 field after dipping their toes in the water at the Trans Am Cup Series at QR and The Bend, an experience which saw Paine achieve an unbelievable result of 2nd outright at the Queensland Raceway round in one of the oldest cars in the country.

Walkinshaw TWG Racing Jnr driver Ayce Buckley will swap his Toyota GR Cup car for a TA2 seat, making his TA2 debut this weekend in a Garage 21-prepped Ford Mustang.

Local Albury driver Jackson Rice returns to action this weekend, keen to impress on his home track where he's enjoyed strong results in the past.

The Circo Master Class will be hotly contested by Robbie Farr, Chris Smerdon and Clinton Rayner, with Domain Ramsay making a welcome return in the #71 Camaro.

Weekend activities begin Saturday with a 40-minute practice session, followed by qualifying and two races. Sunday begins with an early morning warm-up, a further qualifying session, and two more races to close out the event.

Round Five of the TA2 Muscle Car Series can be watched live on Fox, Kayo Sports, SBS and the MotorsportsTV YouTube channel.

The TA2 Muscle Car Series heads back to Queensland Raceway this weekend, August 14-16, for round four of the season, with a strong 20-car field returning to the Ipswich circuit for the second time this year.

A competitive and consistent showing from Waltec Motorsport driver Tyler Cheney at Sydney Motorsport Park has propelled him to the top of the championship standings, with just 12 points now separating him from Alice Buckley.

Queensland Raceway is Buckley's home circuit and she's enjoyed plenty of success there, winning back-to-back TA2 Tag Team enduros, and will no doubt be looking for a positive weekend to reclaim the championship lead on home turf.

Round three winner Nash Morris returns for his second round of the year, this time on home soil after enjoying a thrilling battle at Sydney Motorsport Park with Ben Gomersall who is also preparing for his Supercars main game debut next weekend with Tickford Racing. At Sydney Motorsport Park, the two provided some of the closest and most exciting racing seen this year so with addition of Cheney, Buckley, Hume, Farr and Smith, the action is expected to be frenetic. 

The Circo Master Class will be hotly contested this weekend, with #7 Sinopec Chev Camaro driver Robbie Farr leading the standings 41 points clear of Clinton Rayner in the #76 Perth Forklifts Chev Camaro who is riding a wave of confidence after a podium finish at the Trans Am Cup Series round at Perth, with Matt Stone Racing's Chris Smerdon rounding out the top three. 

Plenty of local drivers return to the series this weekend, with familiar faces Connor Roberts, Paul Hadley and Warren Wadley all back on the grid, plus Coleby Cowham, who will pilot the first Dodge Challenger seen in TA2 competition this year.

The weekend kicks off with a practice session on Saturday morning, followed by qualifying at 11:30am and Races 1 and 2. Sunday will open with a warm-up before the action continues with qualifying and two more races.

Round four of the TA2 Muscle Car Series can be watched live on the AASA Race Series Facebook and YouTube pages.

A stacked 22-car TA2 field will take to Sydney Motorsport Park under lights this weekend for round three of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series, July 17 - 18. 

Alice Buckley leads the Championship over Tyler Cheney by a slender four points after dominating at Queensland Raceway at round two, while Cheney, a local NSW driver will be looking to continue his consistent form and close the gap. 

Adding further depth to the grid, Dunlop Super 2 star and PremiAir Supercars Co Driver Nash Morris will make his first solo TA2 start of the 2026 season this weekend, after teaming up with Supercars Champion and DJR driver Brodie Kostecki in the TA2 enduro, and will do so in a brand new Ford Mustang. 

Former GR Cup front runner Hayden Hume returns to the TA2 Muscle Car Series in the #45 Total Parts Pro Ford Mustang, another brand new car while Gomersall, Paine, Garland, Collier, Rice and Tommy Smith all return to continue building their championships.  

After sitting out round two, another local Kiara Zabetakis returns to a circuit well known to her as will Novacastrian Cam Laws which makes seven NSW based drivers in the field. 

Fresh from competing in Townsville, Aussie Racing Cars driver Scott Dornan will make the step up into TA2 competition this weekend after purchasing an ex TFH Mustang, joining forces with another championship front runner Joel Heinrich, with Dornan eligible for both the Circo Masters Class and the Rookie class, in which he will compete with Patrick Neville. 

Ben Kavich will make his solo TA2 debut this weekend in the #92 Team Thryv Race For A Cure Chev Camaro, after competing in the TA2 enduro back in May alongside former Trans Am driver Ben Grice.

The largest Circo Master Class for 2026 will assemble this weekend with Robbie Farr, Clinton Rayner, Chris Smerdon being joined by Kavich, Dornan and veteran TA2 driver Paul Hadley 

Round three of the 2026 TA2 Muscle Car Series will feature four races across the weekend starting  on July 17-18. Fans can catch all the action live and free on SBS, SBS on Demand, SBS Viceland and Kayo Sports.

Alice Buckley #150 Chevrolet Racing, Chev Camaro 
"I'm heading into Sydney this weekend with a lot of confidence after winning the TA2 enduro back in May. I'm currently leading the championship, so that gives me a real boost heading into this round."

"Sydney is similar to Queensland Raceway for me in a lot of ways, and I'm lucky to have already driven my Super 2 car there earlier this year. I'm expecting the competition to be tough, but I love racing at this track. I've never raced a TA2 car here before, and doing it under lights should be a really cool experience and hopefully we can come out of it still holding the championship lead."

Hayden Hume, #45 Total Parts Pro, Ford Mustang 
"I'm really excited to be heading to Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend. We had a strong season in the Toyota GR Cup Series last year, and it felt like the right time to take the next step. We’ve got a brand-new Ford Mustang that we've spent a lot of time testing and developing, so I'm looking forward to finally getting it on track.”

"I've never driven a TA2 car at Sydney Motorsport Park before, let alone under lights, so it's going to be a fantastic experience. It'll be a big learning curve, but I'm excited to see where we stack up against such a competitive field.”

"We've also got a new team around us this weekend, with Mirko De Rosa coming on board as my engineer. He's got a wealth of experience, so I'm looking forward to working with him and learning as much as I can throughout the weekend."
