Every Supercars team's Christmas wishlist for 2026

It's another off-season in Supercars, and there's no doubt that after a well-earned Christmas break, all 11 teams will be hard at work with one objective in mind. How do we improve on 2025?

For some teams there is work to do over the break, whilst for others there's speed but not enough of the team, whilst some have the speed, but not the execution.

So, what will the Supercars teams put atop their Christmas wishlist? Supercars.com takes a look.

Triple Eight: Make the big chances count

16 wins out of 33, 20 poles out of 34, and all to show for it was the Repco Sprint Cup, which Broc Feeney secured in dominant fashion. Standing up in the big moments is something that Triple Eight have done for two decades, and something that they will be eager to do again in a format that means there's no margin for errors.

Penrite Racing: Prove 2025 wasn't a fluke

The most improved team in 2025 established themselves as the best of the rest behind the Red Bull Camaros that dominated everyone for most of the season. However, several haven't been able to back it up the following season. Will the Penrite Mustangs be added to that list, or can they take the next step?

WAU: Hope Toyota is speedy, and keep both cars in the fight

One of the biggest stories in the history of the Supercars Championship, WAU - or the soon-to-be rebranded Walkinshaw TWG Racing - will lead the charge for Toyota's long-awaited entry into the sport. The big question mark surrounds just how well the car performs, whilst they will also be keen to keep both champion Chaz Mostert and rising star Ryan Wood well in the fight.

Tickford: Find consistent speed

If Tickford displayed the speed they showed at Sydney throughout the remaining 12 rounds of this year, there's no doubt that they would have been right up there as a key contender in 2025. However, their challenge faded completely as the year progressed, and they'll be desperate to convert whatever worked so well at Sydney into something for an entire season.

Team 18: Return to the top step

Team 18 seemed to turn a corner in 2025, with Anton De Pasquale a regular in the top 10, and occasionally picking up silverware. However, it was a second winless season for Charlie Schwerkolt's team, who won their only race at Darwin in 2023. Now stepping up as an homologation team, wins are expected going forward.

Dick Johnson Racing: Take the next step and fight for the title

There were wins for Brodie Kostecki in 2025, and vintage Kostecki wins at that, but it never quite all clicked for the 2023 champion in his first year in Shell V-Power colours. Now with a rookie teammate alongside in Rylan Gray, Kostecki will lead the charge. If the first year blues don't return, it'll be expected that he makes a title bid.

Brad Jones Racing: Don't be overawed by Toyota move

The switch to Toyota shapes as a pivotal moment in the history of BJR. After initially planning to run four GR Supras, that was downsized to three amidst SCT Motorsport's move to Triple Eight, whilst race winner Cameron Hill also jumps onboard. With all the hype surrounding Toyota, BJR must keep their heads down, and keep on going about their business.

Matt Stone Racing: Get new signings up to speed, and compete

A third-straight campaign with a race win for Matt Stone Racing, but it will be an all-new line-up in 2026. Jack Le Brocq returns after two years at Erebus, and welcomes rookie Zach Bates as teammate. Le Brocq knows how to win in MSR colours, whilst Bates has shown plenty of promise in Super2 and his wildcard appearances.

Erebus Motorsport: Get back on the podium

10 of the 11 teams on the grid jagged a podium in 2025. The odd one out was Erebus Motorsport. That's not to say they didn't have their moments, Bathurst was nearly an epic victory for Cooper Murray and Jobe Stewart, who now lead the charge for Erebus. The young guns have shown plenty of speed, but can they convert it into results?

PremiAir Racing: Maintain some stability

It's another off-season of change for PremiAir Racing. Two drivers and key off-track personnel all depart, leaving a new-look outfit headlined by the sensational return of Roland Dane. We've seen the likes of Garry Jacobson and more recently Richie Stanaway depart before they even completed their first seasons, and new drivers Jayden Ojeda and Declan Fraser won't want to join that list.

Blanchard Racing Team: Find consistent top five speed

It was a breakout year for BRT, who ticked off a maiden podium and front row start this year, and even led laps in Adelaide after a spirited first lap from Aaron Cameron. Likely the only team with a Triple Eight technical alliance next year, they'll be keen to be punching into the top five more often than not, especially with the talents of James Golding alongside former Garry Rogers Motorsport stablemate Cameron.
