SIX-TIME Supercars race winner Nick Percat will add a string to his bow with a call-up to the Shannons SpeedSeries broadcast team.
Percat is part of a six-pronged television line-up named to cover the 2026 SRO events, starting with Phillip Island this weekend.
The 37-year-old retired from full-time racing at the end of last season and will co-drive with Triple Eight’s Broc Feeney in this year’s enduros.
Grace Hayden, a sports presenter who is the daughter of Australian cricket legend Matt, is another new face alongside an otherwise familiar mix of Greg Rust, Chris Stubbs, Richard Craill and Charlie Barlow.
“It’s very exciting to have a broadcast team that has a mix of familiar faces and new talent that will cater to all types of sports fans across the country,” said SRO Motorsports Australia CEO Ben McMellan.
“We have a perfectly diverse team that will offer unrivalled motorsport coverage, with Greg Rust and Richard Craill, who have been long-time members of the Shannons SpeedSeries coverage, and both Chris Stubbs and Charlie Barlow, who have played key roles in the success of the platform’s coverage in recent years.
“Bringing in Nick Percat and Grace Hayden will inject new life into the series with fresh ideas, and it will go a long way in assisting the Shannons SpeedSeries’ growth.
“I am pleased to have such a strong cast full of experience across all areas and I am confident that the group will produce a high-quality broadcast, which I am sure many in the industry are looking forward to watching.”
Key categories for the SpeedSeries include GT World Challenge Australia, GT4 Australia and Mustang Cup Australia.
Fox Sports and Kayo will be the exclusive home of live SpeedSeries action this year.
