LITTLE more than 24 hours on from having his impending Repco Supercars Championship debut announced, Bayley Hall has been confirmed to join the Dunlop Super2 Series grid.
A proven winner in Porsche Carrera Cup Australia, Hall will contest this year’s Supercars feeder series with Eggleston Motorsport in a Holden ZB Commodore.
Hall, who will race a Team 18 main game wildcard including with Craig Lowndes in the enduros, joins Cody Burcher, Elliott Cleary and Bradi Owen in Eggleston’s four-pronged roster.
“We are super excited to have Bayley join the team in 2026,” said team co-owner Rachael Eggleston.

“He fit in seamlessly at our test days last week and took to the Supercar really quickly. While it’s quite different to anything he has driven before, he loved it from the minute he got in the car and we couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.
“Despite being classed as a rookie, I have no doubt his professional approach and the way he applies himself will see him adapt at a fast pace.
“He is so hungry to learn and takes everything onboard which is something we really look for in young drivers.
“Once you get to this level, nothing replaces hard work, and there is no doubting that with Bayley.
“We are really looking forward to being a part of Bayley’s Supercars career and giving him all the knowledge, support and resource he needs for success.”
Hall’s Super2 debut will come this weekend at Sydney Motorsport Park, where the #54 Eggleston entry was victorious 12 months ago in the hands of his predecessor Jordyn Sinni.
“I’m grateful to Ben and Rachael for providing me with this opportunity, which marks a significant step forward in my motorsport career. Their belief in my potential paves the way for further success in my motorsport journey,” said Hall.
“Progressing into the Supercars Championship with Team 18 and Supercheap Auto Racing as a wildcard entry this year is a major milestone for me, and competing in Super2 will not only be a great chance to prepare for my wildcard entries, but it will also be a competitive environment to measure myself against the best young talent in the country.
“Eggleston Motorsport has a proven track record of developing drivers and providing a launch pad to become a professional racing driver. This opportunity offers me the best environment to refine my craft and work toward a full-time career in Supercars.
“My first test day in the car was a really memorable experience. To finally get behind the wheel of a Supercar is something I’ve dreamt of since I was a kid. To be able to use features like adjustable roll bars, stick shift and the technique of heel-toe downshifts is a lot of fun, and something I haven’t done since I was in grassroots racing.
“This will be an amazing new challenge for me and I can’t wait to throw everything I have at it.”
