What we already know has now been confirmed by Triple Eight Race Engineering, that current Repco Supercars champion, Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen, will leave the team at the end of this season. Van Gisbergen will head to the US to compete in NASCAR although whether this will be a full or part-time role is yet to be decided.
“As we’ve made clear from the very start, Triple Eight wholeheartedly supports SVG’s decision to showcase his world class talent abroad,” commented Jamie Whincup, Team Principal, Triple Eight Race Engineering. “We look forward to watching him continue to tear up the track like we witnessed in Chicago last month.”
At the same time the team has confirmed the signing of Will Brown who will join Red Bull Ampol Racing from 2024 on a three-year deal.
“Will has been on our radar for many years since he was driving an ex-Triple Eight car in the Super2 championship. He is exciting to watch on track, very personable and most importantly, a really good fit to our Triple Eight culture. The fact Broc [Feeney] and him grew up racing together and are friends away from the circuit is a bonus.”
The 25-year-old is a proven race winner and one of the category’s most exciting talents, and the team look forward to celebrating this exciting new partnership in January 2024.
“Of course, we still have a fight on our hands to win the Drivers’ and Teams’ Championships this season, and that remains Triple Eight’s immediate focus.”
