A changing of the guard: The Supercars eras that ended in 2025
The bp Adelaide Grand Final not only marked the end of the 2025 season, but for several relationships within the Supercars paddock.
After a silly season of massive change, the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship will take on a vastly different complexion to the one it had in 2025.
No less than nine drivers are out of their 2025 rides, whilst three teams change manufacturers, and one Teams Racing Charter moves within the paddock to a new home.
Supercars.com takes a look at the partnerships that will not continue into the new year.
Will Davison and Dick Johnson Racing
Years: 2021-2025
Why it's ending: With Brodie Kostecki quickly stamping his footprint on Dick Johnson Racing, Davison wasn't able to gel with the new approach. 19-year-old Super2 champion Rylan Gray steps up in his place
The defining moments: Two top five points finishes in the first two seasons of the post-Penske era was Davison at his best. A three-win campaign in 2022 was impressive, with his last full-time win coming at Pukekohe.
Nick Percat and Matt Stone Racing
Years: 2024-2025
Why it's ending: Despite having a contract through 2027, rumours began to circulate of a breakdown in Percat and Matt Stone's relationship. Percat announced his full-time retirement, landing a plum co-drive alongside Broc Feeney.
The defining moments: Percat's career was revived by a stunning two-win season last year, followed up by a further three podiums this year. The 37-year-old retires as MSR's most successful driver.
Cameron Hill and Matt Stone Racing
Years: 2023-2025
Why it's ending: Having been with MSR since his rookie season in 2023, Hill takes on a new challenge at Brad Jones Racing, one of five inaugural Toyota Supercars drivers.
The defining moments: Hill became a race winner in Race 6 at the Melbourne SuperSprint, leading home MSR's first-ever 1-2 in the process.
Jack Le Brocq and Erebus Motorsport
Years: 2024-2025
Why it's ending: With Jobe Stewart securing a promotion from the Erebus Academy after a stunning Enduro Cup debut, Le Brocq moves back to his former home at MSR.
The defining moments: The popular Le Brocq scored his second career pole at Townsville last year.
James Golding and PremiAir Racing
Years: 2022-2025
Why it's ending: With PremiAir long rumoured to be making a double driver change, Golding read the room and signed a deal with the Blanchard Racing Team.
The defining moments: Golding has racked up several of PremiAir's key milestones. Golding has been responsible for PremiAir's first pole (Darwin 2024), first podium (Sandown 2024), and first Bathurst podium in October.
Richie Stanaway and PremiAir Racing
Years: 2025
Why it's ending: Despite saying he was on a two-year deal several times through the year, Stanaway was let go after a single season for the fourth time in his full-time Supercars career, making way for Jayden Ojeda after the Gold Coast.
James Courtney and Blanchard Racing Team
Years: 2024-2025
Why it's ending: Although he let it slip much sooner than he'd wanted to, taking on the project of building the Blanchard Racing Team into a two-car operation was the 2010 champion's final act as a full-time Supercars driver.
The defining moments: Courtney claimed BRT's first podium finish at Perth in May, claiming an emotional third place finish.
Bryce Fullwood and Brad Jones Racing
Years: 2022-2025
Why it's ending: With Toyota coming onboard for 2026, BJR took the opportunity to sign a race winner in Cameron Hill to lead the team alongside Andre Heimgartner, with Fullwood the odd man out.
Jaxon Evans and SCT Motorsport
Years: 2024-2025
Why it's ending: Evans was a shock silly season casualty when SCT Motorsport announced his departure in October. The Kiwi landed on his feet, and will drive with Ryan Wood in the enduros next year.
Triple Eight and GM
Years: 2010-2025
Why it's ending: Triple Eight will become the Ford homologation team next year, a deal that was announced back in January.
The defining moments: Where do you even begin? Nine drivers' championships, 12 teams' championships, record numbers of wins and poles in single seasons, and six Bathurst wins.
Walkinshaw Andretti United and Ford
Years: 2023-2025
Why it's ending: Announced in September last year, Toyota will finally be making it's long awaited debut in Supercars, with Walkinshaw Andretti United being named the homologation team.
The defining moments: Chaz Mostert has arguably been Ford's leading light in Gen3, and was rewarded with a maiden championship win last weekend.
Brad Jones Racing and GM
Years: 2008-2025
Why it's ending: BJR join WAU in the Toyota fold next year, but downsize to three cars with the SCT charter moving to Triple Eight.
The defining moments: BJR became points-paying race winners after switching to Holden/GM. A popular Jason Richards Memorial Trophy win came with Jason Bright in 2013, as did the team's best teams' points finishes of third in 2013 and 2023.
SCT Motorsport and Brad Jones Racing
Years: 2020-2025
Why it's ending: In another shock move, the Smith family elected to leave BJR after five full-time Supercars seasons, taking their license to an expanded Triple Eight operation with Super2 junior Jackson Walls.
