A stacked grid of 26 cars will take to Queensland Raceway for the TA2 Tag Team Enduro this weekend August 15 - 17, which will mark the highest profile event in history of the TA2 Muscle Car Series. 

Championship leader Jarrod Hughes will be backed up by seven-time Bathurst 1000 winner Craig Lowndes this weekend and is determined to bounce back after a crash in last week’s Super2 Series that has left him with a shoulder injury.

18 year old Alice Buckley returns to the TA2 Muscle Car Series for her second outing in a Chevrolet Camaro, teaming up with Supercars co-driver Tim Slade. Buckley stunned the paddock on debut at the previous round dominating the Sunday with a pole position and two race wins.

Supercars team owner Tim Blanchard is set to make his TA2 debut this weekend, partnering with New Zealand driver Jon Udy and while this marks his first appearance in the TA2 Muscle Car Series, Blanchard is no stranger to these cars having previously competed at Round 3 of the Trans Am Series in Darwin.

Rookie Eric Ebert makes his series debut this weekend, teaming up with former Toyota 86 driver Luke Vanna in a Chevrolet Camaro. Ebert and Vanna are previous QLD Production Sports Champions and are looking forward to a new challenge.

2024 Supercars Champion Brodie Kostecki and Bathurst Triple Crown winner Paul Morris will drive together for the first time ever in an event, while Morris’s son and newly named PremiAir Supercars enduro Co driver Nash Morris will form part of the powerhouse TFH Racing team that includes current Trans Am series leader Todd Hazelwood, Matt Stone Racing Co-Driver and former TA2 Champion Aaron Seton. 

Other two-driver combinations include Father and Son combo Graham Cheney/Tyler Cheney, Connor Roberts/Ryan Casha, Paul Hadley/Hugh McAllister, Danny Reidy/Charlie Parker, Brandon Madden/Scott Andriske, Steve Wilson/Nick Lange, Mark Crutcher/Jordan Cox and Brock Paine/Dan Jilisen. 

Sons of guns Jason Bargwanna and Steven Richards have also made the journey North from their Melbourne base, Benny Bargwanna and Clay Richards combining for their first at TA2 competition. 

The format will see a sprint race for each of the team drivers both Saturday and Sunday while two 45-minute enduro races will feature a compulsory driver change mid race with the team that has accumulated the most points over all 6 races declared the winner of the 2025 QLD Raceway TA2 Tag Team Enduro. Grid positions for the mini enduro races will be determined on how each driver performs in their own individual sprint races. 

Round five of the TFH Hire TA2 Muscle Car Series presented by Maritimo Luxury Yachts is the headline act for the Hi-Tec Super Series and kicks off August 15-17 at Queensland Raceway. Saturday and Sunday’s action can be watched live and free to air on SBS Free to Air, SBS On Demand and simulcast to Fox Sports and Kayo Sports.

Matt Mackelden, TA2 Racing Australia Category Manager 
“Reading through the entry list is somewhat surreal with the caliber of the drivers and co drivers competing and I couldn’t be more proud of the work the HCC team have undertaken to make this event into what is by far the most competitive and talented field ever to line up in at a TA2 event.”

“When you look at last weekends event at QR and the crowd it attracted, it’s clear that the motorsport fans of South East QLD have given QR the big tick and while we understand we won’t get that kind of a roll up, I hope we get lots of people to the track to watch the cars and the stars in a bit more of a relaxed environment this weekend.” 

As the TA2 Tag Team Enduro approaches, one of the final teams to be confirmed is young Racing Academy driver Cameron Laws and former RX8 and Australian Mod Lights Champion Aaron Prosser who will be making his second appearance for 2025 in the TA2 Muscle Car Series at Queensland Raceway this weekend August 15-17. 

Laws who currently sits ninth in the TA2 Championship and 27^th in Trico Trans Am said this weekend was all about the tyres and patience and is looking forward to the different format. 

“I’ve been fortunate enough to spend quite a bit of time on the Goodyears this year so hopefully that puts us in a good position but the competition is also really strong and I doubt it will take long to get their heads around it” says Laws. 

“I love the way TA2 has an enduro event as part of its calendar and although I can’t commit to the whole TA2 season, getting the opportunity to partner Aaron in his Mustang was too good to refuse.”

Prosser who has had limited time in the car in 2025 said that driving at his home event at Queensland Raceway and teaming up with young gun Laws was something he couldn’t miss. 

 “Work has been so busy this year that getting to track has been difficult but with QR down the road and with Cam being available, I just couldn’t sit at home and watch it on television,” said the two Time Australian Racing Champion.  

“I can’t believe the depth of the talent that’s signed up for the event and to be frank I reckon it will be super cool just to be competing with the likes of Lowndes, Kostecki and Golding.”

The format will see a sprint race for each of the team drivers both Saturday and Sunday while two 45-minute enduro races will feature a compulsory driver change mid race with the team that has accumulated the most points over all 6 races declared the winner of the 2025 QLD Raceway TA2 Tag Team Enduro. Grid positions for the mini enduro races will be determined on how each driver performs in their own individual sprint races.

Hi-Tec Oils Motorsport will field reigning TA2 Champion Josh Haynes alongside Trans Am rising star Blake Tracey and Trans Am and Speedway identity Jason Pryde for this week’s TA2 Tag Team Enduro at Queensland Raceway, taking place August 15 -17.

Josh Haynes dominated last year’s TA2 Series to claim the championship title before stepping up to the Trico Trans Am Series in 2025, though he was forced to miss the last round at Sandown due to budget constraints.

Haynes said he’s looking forward to teaming up with Stibbs as he’s got plenty of experience in the cars and he’s looking forward to getting back to the TA2 grid for the enduro. 

"It’s shaping up to be a really exciting event, with a stacked field, plenty of racing, and some big names but the key will be staying out of trouble and being there at the end of those long races to hopefully bring home some silverware.”

“I’m really looking forward to teaming up with Stibbs, he’s got plenty of experience. I’ve driven on the Hoosier tyre many times before, but the Goodyear tyre in TA2 will be something new but like all the drivers, we’ll need to adapt quickly, but I’m sure it’ll come together after a few laps.”

At just 18 years old, Blake Tracey is currently competing in the Trico Trans Am Series, and despite a challenging start to the season, Tracey had a break out event at Sandown running at the front of the field and will team up with Brad Gartner in the #22 Hi-Tec Oils Chevrolet Camaro for this weekend’s event.

Blake said he's looking forward to the different format for the weekend and driving against some of the biggest names in the sport.

"I'm really looking forward to the TA2 Tag Team Enduro this weekend and working closely with Brad and the team. He’s a top driver and it’s a tough field with so many big names on the grid, but it’s going to be exciting,” said Tracey

“Like Josh the Goodyear tyre will be a first for me. It might take a bit of time to adapt, but I’m excited to take on the challenge and learn as much as I can.”

Speedway legend Robbie Farr will be joined for his first TFH TA2 Tag Team Enduro by fellow Speedway start Jason Pryde in the Hi-Tec Oils Chevrolet Camaro for the Tag Team Enduro.

Pryde is no stranger to TA2 but like many of the Co Drivers will be experiencing the Goodyear tyre for the first time. 

“I’m in the same boat as most of the others, but driving against so many big names and experienced campaigners will be the biggest challenge and I can’t wait to get started on Friday to see where we’re at.”

2022 Super2 Series champion and 2025 Brad Jones Racing co-driver Declan Fraser is the next high profile driver to be named for the TA2 Muscle Car Series Tag Team Enduro, combining with friend Hayden Jackson in the #81 Dodge Challenger, the only Challenger entered for the August 15-17 event at Queensland Raceway. 

Fraser, currently competing in the GT World Challenge Australia and signed on for the 2025 Supercars endurance season, brings a wealth of experience and versatility across multiple racing categories.

Fraser said he’s been looking at TA2 and Trans Am for a while now and is super excited to have a crack at the ever popular category.  

"I’ve been keeping an eye on the TA2 Muscle Car Series for quite a while now and there are so many drivers performing at a high level across both TA2 and Trans Am, so when Hayden asked me to jump in, I was really keen to have a crack."

"I’m feeling good after the test day because they’re really raw race car, which I love. The back of the car feels similar to a Supercar, so it’s great to get some seat time leading into the Supercars enduro season. It’s a pretty stacked field, but hopefully Hayden and I can put our heads together and come away with a strong result."

After a challenging start to the season, Jackson currently sits 15th in the championship but is steadily gaining confidence as he comes to terms with the car's setup.

Fraser and Jackson last competed against each other in the Toyota 86 Series in recent years and said he’s looking forward to a valuable learning experience this weekend.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun driving with Declan again. We used to race together in the 86 Series, but now with the experience he’s gained he’s a few steps ahead of us. We’ll take the opportunity to not only have fun but also learn from him and see what kind of results we can achieve,” he said

“I reached out to Declan about three months ago to float the idea, and he got back to me almost straight away saying he was keen. It’s a seriously competitive field, so we’re just aiming for some positive and consistent results.”

PremiAir Racing’s James Golding has confirmed his place beside up and coming star 17 year old Lachlan Evennett for next weekend’s TA2 Tag Team Enduro, taking place at Queensland Raceway from August 15 to 17.

Racing alongside each other in the Trico Trans Am Series with Garry Rogers Motorsport, Evennett and Golding are no strangers to each other and despite considering Queensland Raceway his home track said that being an endurance event the TA2 Tag Team event would be a new challenge. 

“I’m excited to be teaming up with Lachlan for the TA2 two-driver event. He’s been quick in these cars, and it’s going to be something different for me. I’m used to running on Hoosier tyres in the Trans Am car, so adapting to the Goodyear tyre will be a key focus to get the most out of the car.”

"It’s definitely an advantage already working together in the Trico Trans Am Series with GRM but he’s had more experience in the TA2 series on the Goodyears, so I’ll be looking to learn from him while also offering my support. By the time we get to the endurance race, I think we’ll both be in a strong position to be really competitive." 

While Golding will get plenty of miles this weekend in his Supercar, Evennett will also be racing in the Toyota GR Cup meaning both drivers will be well prepared come first practice next week. 

Evennett’s last TA2 race was at Queensland Raceway when he joined Ashley Jarvis Racing finishing eighth outright and says that teaming up with an experienced driver like Golding will be a huge advantage.

"Jimmy brings a wealth of experience in these cars and in racing overall but there are still a few unknowns with so many drivers in the field, so we’ll just do our thing and see where we’re placed come Sunday.”

“I’m really looking forward to learning a lot from Jimmy, it’s not all on one driver but I think we can push each other forward up the grid.”

The format will see a sprint race for each of the team drivers both Saturday and Sunday while two 45-minute enduro races will feature a compulsory driver change mid race with the team that has accumulated the most points over all 6 races declared the winner of the 2025 QLD Raceway TA2 Tag Team Enduro.
