2024 grid firms as Nulon Racing secures driver line-up

The 2024 Repco Supercars Championship grid continues to firm, with Nulon Racing announcing Tim Slade and James Golding will form an unchanged line-up for the Gold Coast squad.

Nulon Racing confirmed Wednesday, ahead of next weekend's Repco Bathurst 1000, that Slade and Golding will pilot the team’s two Camaros in 2024.

Slade joined this year, with Golding signing on midway through the 2022 season.

“The team is very excited to have both Tim and Jimmy remaining with the team into the future,” Team Manager Stephen Robertson said.

“Both Tim and Jimmy are highly talented drivers, and we are committed to continuing to do all we can to provide them with the best possible support across the remainder of this season and into the next.” 

Slade and Golding are 13th and 15th in the standings heading to the Repco Bathurst 1000. Slade will race with Jonathon Webb, and Golding with O’Keeffe.

Of 24 full-time seats for 2024, seven have yet to be formally announced — two at Tickford Racing, two at Blanchard Racing Team, and three at Brad Jones Racing.

Cam Waters and Thomas Randle are expected to form Tickford’s line-up, with Aaron Love and James Courtney linked to the BRT drives. BJR is expected to retain the same line-up, with Andre Heimgartner, Macauley Jones, Jack Smith and Bryce Fullwood currently the team’s four drivers.

“I am very excited to announce the multi-year extension of my partnership with Nulon Racing,” Golding said. 

“I would like to thank Peter Xiberras and the whole Nulon Racing team for giving me the opportunity to continue my journey with them in the Supercars Championship for 2024 and beyond.

“I am also looking forward to working alongside Tim Slade again in 2024. It is great to have that continuity in the team. I enjoy working alongside Sladey and I trust him to push me to become the best I can.

“It takes consistent commitment and hard work to build and improve together. To play a role in this progression makes me feel valued as a key part in the team’s future.

“Being a part of a team that doesn't just want to succeed but has the will to do whatever it takes is refreshing and motivational. I can’t wait to achieve success with Nulon Racing.”

Slade added: “I am happy to be continuing my relationship with Peter, Carmen and Nulon Racing.

“The team has come a long way in the short time it has been in the sport and it is no secret we've still got a bit to go, but everyone is pushing hard and the team is certainly heading in the right direction and I look forward to playing my part again next year.”
