BRYCE Fullwood is preparing to launch his own business as he drops off the full-time Repco Supercars Championship grid in 2026.
Fullwood has been a fixture in the main game for each of the past six seasons – i.e. ever since he won the 2019 Super2 title.
But after losing the #14 Brad Jones Racing seat to Cameron Hill, Fullwood faces at least one year on the sidelines.
He in fact remains the highest-profile free agent in the Ryco Enduro Cup co-driving stakes, having seen fellow finishing full-timers James Courtney, Nick Percat, Will Davison, Richie Stanaway and Jaxon Evans all lock down their places in The Bend 500 and Bathurst 1000.
There is every chance Fullwood could yet end up sticking around at BJR as André Heimgartner’s co-driver, but while the wait for an answer there continues, what’s certain is Fullwood has other things cooking.
“I’m in the midst of starting a business,” he revealed to V8 Sleuth late last month.
“I guess outside of racing I have always been into building cars and whatnot.
“I’ve always built a lot of custom stuff, I’m very hands-on with building whatever I do, I don’t outsource very much.
“Over the years I have kind of made a lot of custom parts that I’ve only made for myself, that I’ve made because someone else doesn’t make or they don’t do a good job of, or whatever.
“So I kind of have got all these parts that I’ve already made and have put the effort into, so it’s pretty easy to make more and it’s what I’m pretty good at doing.
“So that’s kind of going to be the business – it will be that along with 3D modelling, 3D printing, CNC machining, all that sort of stuff.”
Fullwood has three career Supercars Championship podiums to date.
