2026 Livery Report

 A few days out from the start of the season, I'm giving my verdict on every livery for the 2026 Repco Australia Supercar Championship.


Starting with Chaz Mostert.









I like how it looks with the Toyota Supra. I think it works pretty well. Looks like only the Tus will be visible if the door needs to be opened. 7/10.


Ryan Wood








I wondered how they'd fit Truck Assist on the door so, if the door needed to be opened, you wouldn't see Ass on the door. Only the t is missing, which is good. Looks fine, nothing special. 6/10.


Aaron Cameron








Uh, I'm going to be honest, it's a little much. It's a complete departure from the Cooldrive livery, which is going to the other car, but even so, it feels a little much. The Liqui Moly is blasted everywhere. Otherwise, the colour scheme is pretty cool, which does bring it up a little. 5.5/10


Jack LeBrocq








I love it. Orange works on a Chevrolet. The blue parts from Tyrepower work too, and remind me of some older liveries from back in the day. The only minor issue is that it's on Jack LeBrocq's car. They're going to be paying out a fair bit. 9/10.


Cameron Waters







Not much to say here. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Iconic. 8/10.


James Golding








The livery was on Aaron Cameron's car last year, and has moved to James Golding this year. It's fine. I've got nothing bad to say about it. 6/10.


Andre Heimgartner








I was unsure how R&J Batteries would fit on the Toyota. And it's fine. Another one I don't really have an opinion on. Except the black hood, which is cool. 6.5/10.


Jobe Stewart








The orange and black clash a bit more here than on Jack LeBrocq's livery. I still like it, just not as much. 8/10.


Zach Bates








I also love this livery. The blue fits perfectly with the Black. And Bendix appearing in white and black outline is even better, 10/10.


Jackson Walls








I don't know about this one. The sponsor name takes up far too much of the livery. I don't really like it. 4/10.


Cameron Hill








This is another super cool livery. Not quite as awesome as Percat's, but I love the dare part of it. Probably a close 2nd. 9/10.


Brodie Kostecki and Rylan Grey








Another case of If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's fine. Nothing Special. 7/10.


Anton De Pasquale








There is a subtle difference to this one. There's a bowtie thing at the back of the livery. I think it looks cool. 7.5/10.


Matt Payne and Kai Allen








I'm going to sound like a broken record. If it ain't broke don't fix it. It still looks cool. The gold on black is something I've always liked. 8/10.


David Reynolds








The sponsor works as well on a Camaro as it does on a Mustang. I like it. 7/10.


Declan Fraser and Jayden OJeda








I admire the commitment to the colour scheme, though I do miss the blue that's usually there on a NAPA Sponsor. Might be watching NAPA as a livery on NASCAR. 7/10


Thomas Randle







I don't mind the additions of the black. They've done something with the green that I hate. It ruined the livery in my opinion. 2/10.


Will Brown and Broc Feeney








The changes are subtle, and mostly because of the switch from Chevrolet to Ford. I think it works pretty well. 8/10.


Macauley Jones








Probably my 3rd favourite livery. I love the transition from white, to blue, to black. Alpha Theta works well with the Toyota. 9/10.


Cooper Murray








Feels a little underdone in my opinion. Could maybe add a little more to the livery. 5/10.


And those are my throughts about the liveries we've got for 2026.


I'm looking forward to this season. Let's see how it goes.

Lap 1 crash leaves Jack LeBrocq last at Adelaide

Original by Speecafe, Screenshotted by me.

Jack LeBrocq (#9 Tyrepower Chevrolet) picked up the 20th last-place finish of his career. He crashed out on the opening lap of the last race at the Adelaide Street Circuit. The finish came in LeBrocq’s 267th start.

Jack LeBrocq is in his 8th full-time season, one of five 2018 rookies alongside Richie Stanaway, Anton De Pasquale, Todd Hazelwood, and James Golding. Only Jack LeBrocq and Anton De Pasquale have raced all 8 years. Stanaway and Golding spent time out of the sport. Hazelwood has been out since replacing Brodie Kostecki at Erebus Motorsports for the first two races of 2024 because of mental health issues. Jack LeBrocq debuted with Tekno Autosports. He moved to Tickford in 2020 and won his first race with them. LeBrocq then moved to Matt Stone Racing in 2022. In 2023, he won his second race before moving to Erebus Motorsports in 2024.

This year has been brutal for Jack. Several crashes and other issues had left him, until the previous race, potentially defending his last-place crown. But it wasn’t to be.

Jack LeBrocq was 24th in both practice sessions and only improved to 20th in qualifying.

Cooper Murray (#99 Total Energies Chevrolet) started last after a left-rear wheel nut came off the car. This resulted in a lucky escape, only bumping the notorious Turn 8 with the left-rear.

The tire subsequently coming off triggered a red flag, deleting Murray’s fastest lap.

Turn 6 lap 1 saw the Championship and this race’s last place get decided. Ryan Wood (#2 Truck Assist/NTI Ford) spun Broc Feeney (#88 Red Bull/Ampol Chevrolet), sending Feeney to the rear.

Jack LeBrocq (#9 Tyrepower Chevrolet) smashed into the back of Nick Percat (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) in the aftermath.

The collision sent Percat into James Golding (#31 Nulon Chevrolet) and destroyed the nose of LeBrocq’s car, ending his race.

Nick Percat would have race-long issues, finishing 22nd.

Karma would hit Ryan Wood late in the race, steering damage costing him 7 laps.

For the 2nd year in a row, Cooper Murray (#99 Total Energies Chevrolet) would suffer a front-end failure during the race, losing 6 laps in repairs. He finished 23rd.

Austin Cindric (#5 Armor All Ford) would complete the Bottom 5.
