Gray the 10th confirmed Supercars full-timer in 12 Hour field
Dick Johnson Racing Supercars rookie Rylan Gray is the latest Supercars driver to be confirmed among the field for next weekend's Bathurst 12 Hour.
The reigning DUNLOP Super2 Series champion is set to make his debut in Australia's International Enduro, where he will drive for Volante Rosso, debuting a brand new car for the team.
The 19-year-old is set to drive a McLaren 720S GT3 EVO, in what will be a factory backed entry by McLaren Customer Racing, marking the team's first race with the iconic brand.
It's the next step in what has been a promising GT career to date for the New South Welshman, who has won nine races in 24 starts driving a Mustang in the GT4 Australia Series.
Gray will be part of a four-driver lineup in the Sliver class entry, alongside Carrera Cup frontrunner Bayley Hall and former GT4 rival Marcos Flack. A fourth driver will be named at a later date.
26-year-old Queenslander Hall could also find himself behind the wheel of a Supercar in 2026, having been linked to Team 18's wildcard program alongside Craig Lowndes.
The teenager becomes the 10th full-time Supercars driver confirmed to be entering this year's 12 Hour.
Gray joins Broc Feeney, Chaz Mostert, Ryan Wood, Cam Waters, Thomas Randle, Kai Allen, James Golding, Jayden Ojeda, and Zach Bates on the grid, forming a strong Supercars contingent on a global stage.
There will also be a familiar face to Supercars fans in Volante Rosso's second entry, with 2019 Super2 champion Bryce Fullwood set to steer the squad's Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3.
Gray's maiden full-time Supercars campaign will begin the week after the 12 Hour at the DUNLOP Sydney 500 from February 20-22. Tickets for the event are on sale now.
