Brad Vaughan completely reversed Brad Jones Racing's Super2 fortunes in the space of 12 months in 2025.
After finishing down in 22nd in the opening race of the year, Vaughan stormed to second the following day, setting the tone for a fine season to come.
The South Australian claimed another two podiums, two pole positions, and BJR's first points-paying Super2 race victory since 2014 in the final race of the year in Adelaide.
Vaughan's BJR move was a career lifeline after being let go from Tickford at the end of 2024, and it's a lifeline he has made the most of.
His speed has been plain to see in his young career, beating Kai Allen in a head-to-head duel to claim the 2022 Super3 Series driving for Anderson Motorsport.
Snapped up by Tickford, he claimed four poles across his two years, and won his first race at Sandown in 2024, the weekend he made his main game debut in a wildcard Matt Chahda Motorsport Chevrolet.
Vaughan once again made enduro starts last year in BJR's #14 entry alongside Bryce Fullwood.
