2024 grid set after BJR signs Porsche star Jaxon Evans
14 Camaros and 10 Ford Mustangs on 2024 grid
Only two teams head into new season with unchanged line-ups
After one of the most turbulent and intriguing silly seasons in recent memory, the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship grid is finally set.
There will be 14 Camaros and 10 Ford Mustangs on the 2024 Supercars grid, with Jaxon Evans taking the final vacancy.
Porsche star Evans was announced as Jack Smith's replacement at Brad Jones Racing in the SCT Logistics Chevrolet Camaro.
Evans joins BJR incumbents Andre Heimgartner, Bryce Fullwood and Macauley Jones in what is now Supercars' only four-car squad.
Remarkably, just two teams have unchanged line-ups; Anton De Pasquale and Will Davison and Shell V-Power Racing Team, and James Golding and Tim Slade at Nulon Racing.
Leading teams from 2023, Erebus Motorsport and Triple Eight Race Engineering, were at the centre of the silly season's biggest stories. Shane van Gisbergen's move to NASCAR opened the door for Will Brown to join Triple Eight, with Jack Le Brocq shifting to Erebus.
Nick Percat replaced Le Brocq at Matt Stone Racing, with Walkinshaw Andretti United calling up Super2 star Ryan Wood to make his main game debut.
Wood is one of three rookies on the grid, along with Evans and Aaron Love. Love joins 2010 champion James Courtney at the expanded Blanchard Racing Team, with Tickford downscaling to two cars.
Then, there's new Bathurst winner Richie Stanaway's full-time comeback at Penrite Racing, with David Reynolds joining Team 18 from Penrite Racing in the place of Scott Pye.
Pye is one of five confirmed co-drivers, having signed with Triple Eight.
Garth Tander (Penrite Racing), David Russell (Erebus) and Michael Caruso (Team 18) are going nowhere, with Jack Perkins partnering Courtney at BRT.
Drivers will get behind the wheel of their cars in early February ahead of the first round of the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship, the Thrifty Bathurst 500, on February 23-25.
