'This guy is actually wheeling it': How Cameron turned heads

Saturday, November 29, 2025 might become known as the day Aaron Cameron truly arrived as a Supercars driver.

If you'd only seen the results sheet, you wouldn't think it was anything special, in fact far from it. Cameron's race ended with a crash on just the ninth lap of a 78-lap affair on the streets of Adelaide.

However, in those eight laps he squeezed every drop of performance out of the #3 REDARC Mustang, and provided plenty of entertainment within the championship battle.

It all started in Boost Mobile Qualifying, where he provisionally qualified fourth to make his second Top Ten Shootout in three events, before going even better to line up second on the grid, only beaten by another world-class effort from Broc Feeney.

Armed with his first career front row start in just his 32nd career start, the 25-year-old made no secret of his intentions on the grid, saying, "Who give a crap about all these Finals guys?"

Sure enough, he stuck true to his word, and didn't relent when Feeney jumped him from the front row, launching a banzai move around the outside of the Senna Chicane to steal the lead on the run up Wakefield Street.

Will Brown, who was watching on from fifth, couldn't help but be impressed as he saw the situation unfold ahead of him.

"I thought it was amazing, because you think of someone in his situation, you think is he just going to try and bank a result, get a top five or six, and let a few people go if they have a crack at him?" said Brown on his Lucky Dogs podcast.

"I love his determination, he didn't get the best start. Broc was half a car length ahead of him, and he just bombed it around the outside at [Turn] 1 through the gravel and he was in the lead.

"I was like, 'God, this guy is actually wheeling it, he's up on the wheel and having a crack.' I was pretty impressed.

Such was Cameron's drive, that he led the first four laps of the race, before relinquishing the lead to Ryan Wood. Despite that, he still managed to fend off Feeney in second before he made a mistake through the Senna Chicane on Lap 9.

Having bowled a wide through the opening sequence, Cameron was then out of rhythm entering Turn 3, where he slid into the outside concrete wall on driver's right.

A distraught Cameron was left to walk back to pit lane, with a chance at a first career podium slipping through his fingers.

"He was just in front of me and Broc, and he comes through Turn 3 and got a massive tank slapper and fenced it, and I felt sorry for him. I thought he was doing such a good job," continued Brown.

"Woody was struggling to get past him, Broc was struggling to get past him, it was pretty impressive, but the poor bugger, I think it was a little bit of a rookie mistake.

"But it was still cool to see him up there."

Perhaps proudest of all was team owner Tim Blanchard, who made the tough call after the opening round in Sydney to let Aaron Love go, and promote Cameron from his co-driving duties.

“It was a pretty good weekend. Getting Aaron Cameron onto the front row in Saturday qualifying, and then watching him lead with his elbows out, was great to see," said Blanchard post-Adelaide.

"He will get better and better, so we’re very pleased with the way he has developed through the season."

In 2026, Cameron will welcome a new teammate at BRT, with James Golding arriving from PremiAir Racing to replace the retired James Courtney.
