James: Erebus and PremiAir will be crucial players in General Motors’ desire to stay at the front when Triple Eight joins Ford, and GM wants results. Cooper Murray is locked in at Erebus Motorsport, while Jack Le Brocq is off contract. James Golding and Richie Stanaway are with PremiAir Racing, which hasn’t publicly outlined the details of their contracts. Le Brocq is a multi-time race winner, but Erebus also has young guns Jobe Stewart and Jarrod Hughes waiting in the wings. Hughes has significant support from GM, being recently locked in alongside Craig Lowndes for a TA2 enduro. Stewart is a Super3 champion, and Super2 race winner, while Nash Morris will undertake an evaluation with PremiAir. So, retain status quo with experience, or make another leap of faith with youth? Making the jump to the main game is a big move for young drivers, and while performance isn’t quite there for Erebus and PremiAir at this stage of the season, it will be interesting to see what both teams do next.
