BRT Expands to Two-Car Team: Tickford Racing has made it clear that it will have two cars instead of four for the 2024 Supercars season. One of Tickford’s TRCs was sold to Blanchard Racing Team (BRT) as part of a bigger change in the Teams Racing Charters (TRCs). BRT has announced that it will have two cars for the 2024 season. This is a big step in the team’s growth. The other TRC from Tickford will be put away, so there will only be 24 cars in the field.
BRT owner Tim Blanchard was delighted about the growth and said it was part of their five-year goal. Gaining information from two cars, recruiting more personnel, and gaining more resources will help the team compete and last longer. BRT will likely announce drivers, sponsors, and other expansion components in the following weeks. Todd Hazelwood, the BRT driver, will leave at the end of the season, leaving a place for new drivers. Super2 driver Aaron Love will likely move up to the main game’s second vehicle for his maiden season. James Courtney, the 2010 series champion, may race with him.
Tickford Racing is selling James Courtney and Declan Fraser as it shrinks. The team will likely keep Cam Waters and Thomas Randle. Courtney and Aaron Love are most likely to join the larger BRT squad. Fraser’s seat status for next season is uncertain. Tickford CEO Tim Edwards said the team cut back to focus on winning in 2024 and beyond. More information on the 2024 team will be released. Despite changes, the team intends to win the 2023 title and do well in the last four races.
Rearranging TRCs and reducing the race to 24 cars may assist them. It will be straightforward to fly vehicles to New Zealand and Singapore events. It also solves team championship points and pit booms. Brad Jones Racing is one of 10 two-car teams and one four-car team. Nine two-car, two four-car and BRT had 25 cars before.
The changes are underway as Supercars streamlines its systems to make the sport more sustainable and competitive. People believe Tickford and BRT’s actions will have a major impact on the Supercars Championship, not just the teams but the sport.
