Three Supercars teams are changing manufacturers in 2026
WAU swaps Ford for Toyota, BJR joins from Chevrolet
Triple Eight announced Chevrolet-to-Ford deal in January
The 2026 Repco Supercars Championship will look markedly different to 2025, with three teams changing manufacturers.
Brad Jones Racing confirmed Saturday it will campaign Toyotas from 2026, joining homologation team Walkinshaw Andretti United in running GR Supras.
WAU defects from Ford, which will welcome reigning champions Triple Eight Race Engineering.
Saturday's news means the 2026 grid is set to feature 10 Fords, eight Chevrolets and six Toyotas. It's a significant shift from 2025, which is currently being contested by 14 Chevrolets and 10 Fords.
In 2026, Ford is set to be represented by Triple Eight, Tickford Racing, Dick Johnson Racing, Grove Racing and Blanchard Racing Team.
Chevrolet, meanwhile, will be led by new homologation team Team 18, with Erebus Motorsport, Matt Stone Racing, and PremiAir Racing returning.
There could yet be more change, though, with PremiAir Racing leaving the door open to its options after missing out on the General Motors homologation team role.
However, the team appears set to stay in the GM family, having raced GM cars since it took over Team Sydney in 2022.
At the time of publication, Toyota will have race winners Chaz Mostert and Andre Heimgartner on its books, while Ford welcomes star drivers Will Brown and Broc Feeney.
