Second-generation Wyhoon set for historic Supercar laps

15-year-old Ryan Wyhoon will get behind the wheel of a former Stone Brothers Racing Falcon this weekend at the Phillip Island Classic.

The son of Image Racing team owner and former Super2 Series race winner Terry Wyhoon, the teenager will have his first taste of historic Supercar competition in the Five Litre Touring Car sprints at the popular historic event.

Image Racing's links to Erebus Motorsport, including running Academy members Jobe Stewart, Jarrod Hughes, and Max Geoghegan in this year's Dunlop Super2 Series, also extend to the junior Wyhoon, who has been an Academy member since 2023.

Wyhoon is the youngest member of the Erebus Academy, and enters his ninth season of go-karting this year, with experience spanning both Australia and America.

Wyhoon will drive a 2012 Ford Falcon FG at Phillip Island, a car which was entered for two Dunlop Series rounds, the last Project Blueprint era car to officially enter the Super3 Series.

However, it's last two appearances were curtailed by mechanical gremlins at Sandown and Adelaide, with Antonio Molluso and Tony Auddino's weekends both ending after Practice 1 at the two events.

The car Wyhoon will drive at Phillip Island is the final Project Blueprint-spec FG Falcon that competed in the Supercars Championship, with Tim Slade claiming a career-best fifth in the 2012 championship at the helm of the chassis.

This chassis also had a long life in the development series, with the likes of Jack Le Brocq and Steven Johnson contesting Super2 events, whilst Super2 race winner Jordan Boys also ran events in the third-tier with the chassis.

Wyhoon and Image's appearance won't be the only Super2 representation in the Five Litre field at Phillip Island, with Eggleston Motorsport running six cars in the 20 car field.
