AARON Seton’s solo Supercars Championship debut could come six weeks earlier than expected, pending approvals.
The third-generation racer first appeared in the main game at the 2022 Bathurst 1000, co-driving with Matt Stone Racing’s Jack Le Brocq.
Some four years later, his maiden opportunity to have a car to himself on the big stage is locked in, in the form of an MSR wildcard at the Ipswich Super440 on August 21-23.
News that Cameron Crick has withdrawn from the upcoming Townsville 500 on health grounds may mean Seton comes to the fore even sooner.

MSR has committed to running its #35 Camaro for the July 10-12 event, and with Crick’s blessing Seton is in the box seat provided the driver swap gets the all-clear from Supercars and its Commission.
Beyond the Repco Sprint Cup, Seton is locked in as Zach Bates’ co-driver for The Bend 500 and Bathurst 1000 enduros.
The 27-year-old son of two-time ATCC title winner Glenn Seton has runs on the board in Townsville: he chalked up eight Super2 races at the Reid Park Street Circuit, recording a pole position and third-place finish along the way.
Tickford Racing will also field a Townsville wildcard, for young gun Reuben Goodall.
