2022 Super 2 Champion set for TA2 Enduro debut

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.”

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.

 

James Golding and Lachlan Evennett Set for TA2 Enduro

James Golding and Lachlan Evennett Set for TA2 Enduro

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. 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. 

 

4 Bathurst 1000 Winners on the Grid for TA2 Tag Team Enduro

4 Bathurst 1000 Winners on the Grid for TA2 Tag Team Enduro

The third running of the TA2 Muscle Cars Tag Team Enduro will now see 4 Bathurst 1000 winners on the grid with confirmation Paul Morris and Brodie Kostecki will team up for the event at Queensland Raceway August 15-17. 

Morris, a winner in 2014 and Kostecki a winner in 2025, also join Kostecki’s 2025 winning partner Todd Hazelwood, plus 7-time winner and motorsport legend Craig Lowndes (96, 06, 07, 08, 10, 15, 18) in easily the deepest talent field seen for a TA2 Racing Australia event. 

Neither Morris or Kostecki are strangers to the TA2 vehicle platform, with Kostecki driving a Camaro and claiming the podium in his only appearance in the Trans Am series, ironically at Queensland Raceway in 2022, but it was Morris who first floated the idea late last week and said with the car sitting in the shed we figured we should probably go racing. 

"I floated the idea to Brodie last week, the car was sitting in the workshop, and I figured we should go racing. I’ve done a few laps in Nash’s TA2 car about 18 months ago and Brodie’s last run in a TA2 Camaro saw him on the podium at Queensland Raceway. We haven’t had a chance to test on the new tyres, so there are a few unknowns, but we’re going there to have a proper crack and chase a strong result."

Kostecki will have plenty of miles under his belt with the Queensland Raceway round of the Supercars Series this weekend and said he is excited to go out and have some fun in a competitive car. 

"Paul floated the idea to me last week while we were in the workshop, and it came together pretty quickly from there. I’m really excited to get back behind the wheel and have some fun. It’s great to see Paul racing in a competitive car again, he’s been doing a solid job in the V8 SuperUte Series but teaming up with him in something like this is pretty special."

"Paul’s been a huge mentor throughout my career, so to finally share a car with him in a proper race is something I’ve always looked forward to. I can’t wait to see how we stack up."

Promoters of the third running of the TA2 Tag Team Enduro have already announced Craig Lowndes, George Miedecke, Todd Hazelwood, Nash Morris, Aaron Seton and Tim Slade as notable entries with further announcements expected this week. 

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.

Trans Am Star Nathan Herne Teams Up with Tom Davies for TA2 Enduro

Trans Am Star Nathan Herne Teams Up with Tom Davies for TA2 Enduro

Two-time Trans Am champion Nathan Herne will join forces with Tom Davies for the upcoming TA2 Tag Team Enduro, taking place at Queensland Raceway from August 15 to 17.

Herne will serve as both driver and team manager at the event as Davies competes in the TA2 Series in Herne’s family team driving a Camaro as opposed to the Mustang which he drives with GRM in the Trans Am Series.  

Currently sitting second in the Trico Trans Am Series Herne said that he and Tom share a very similar driving style, a factor he believes puts them in a strong position to contend for the win.

“It’s been an interesting experience this year being on the ‘other side of the fence’, stepping back from driving and focusing on engineering and mechanical support for Tom in the TA2 Series. The season’s had its up's and down's, but we had a really strong car at the last round at Queensland Raceway,” Herne said.

“Based on the data and footage and with Tom and my very similar driving styles, I think we have a real shot for the win at the Enduro. It’s going to be a big event with tough competition, but Tom is a hard charger, and with my experience in these cars, I think that combination could really pay off for us.”

Davies endured a challenging start to the season with a car fire at Round 1 in Winton, but has bounced back impressively, securing his first two TA2 podium finishes at the most recent round at Queensland Raceway.

Davies currently sits seventh in the TA2 championship and said he’s looking forward to partnering with a driver of Herne’s experience, giving him extra confidence going into the Enduro.

“Obviously, Nathan is a guru when it comes to these cars both behind the wheel and in the garage and from what I’ve seen this year as he’s running my car, I’m not sure I could be partnered with a better driver,” he said. 

“We came out of Round 4 at Queensland Raceway feeling confident with the changes we’ve made to the car. I’ve finally got a solid feel for the new tyres, so I’m confident that together we can achieve a strong result.”

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.

Big Names Join TFH Racing for TA2 Enduro

TFH Racing is set to field a powerhouse line-up for next month’s TA2 Tag Team Enduro at Queensland Raceway, with 2019 TA2 Champion Aaron Seton and 2024 Trans Am Champion Todd Hazelwood joining the team alongside Nash Morris and Elliot Barbour for the August 15-17 event.

Aaron Seton will drive with Ben Gomersall and said he was excited to rejoin the category for the first time since 2021. 

"I'm really excited to be getting back behind the wheel of a TA2 car, it’s been a while since my last drive in one, with my most recent outing back in 2021 before the pandemic brought everything to a halt.”

“They’re incredibly rewarding cars to drive, and I’ve got some great memories and solid experience from my time in the category. I’m also looking forward to teaming up with Ben Gomersall, he’s a fast and talented young driver, and I think we’ve got the potential to put together a strong performance."

Supercars co-driver Todd Hazelwood will join forces with Josh Thomas for the second year in a row after a strong result last year at The Bend, and says he is excited to be teaming up with Josh again to have a red hot crack.

“Teaming up with Josh at our home track, we’re looking to put in a strong performance and have a clean weekend as a team. We really enjoyed the two-driver format at The Bend last year, despite a few car gremlins, so we’re definitely chasing a bit of redemption this time around.”

“Racing regularly in the Trans Am series gives me a solid edge heading into the enduro, but with this being my first time on Goodyear tyres, it’ll be a learning weekend, and one I’m really looking forward to.”

Rising star Diesel Thomas, currently sitting fourth in the championship in an impressive rookie season, will team up with Trans Am front-runner Nash Morris, forming an exciting young pairing for TFH Racing. 

Joining Des Collier in the #63 Mustang for this year’s TA2 Enduro is experienced Trans Am regular Elliot Barbour, who reunites with Collier following their successful partnership at last year’s endurance round at The Bend.

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.
