THE best part of 18 months on from his unceremonious split with the Blanchard Racing Team, Aaron Love will be back racing a Supercar.
The West Australian native will compete in the Perth and Sandown rounds of Super2 with Eggleston Motorsport, which is returning to running five cars to accommodate the 24-year-old.
“We are excited to have Aaron apart of the team for the Perth and Sandown rounds, and help him get back into the Supercar racing scene,” said team co-owner Rachael Eggleston.
“Being a proud West Australian, it’s a great place for him to get back in the seat, he will have a lot of support.
“We competed against Aaron in 2023 when he ran in Super2, he was super-fast back then and I am sure it’s no different now! I think he will come into this round with a lot more experience under his belt and be hungry to get some solid results.
“His Supercar journey is unfinished business, and we hope to be a place where he can not only get some strong results but enjoy his racing and get the support he needs to crack back into the Supercar scene for the future.”
Love was one of several hot talents who competed in the 2023 Super2 Series, joining Kai Allen, Ryan Wood, Cooper Murray and Zak Best as race winners from that season.
He’d already proven himself in Porsches before then, but Love’s rapid-fire rise to the main game – at a time when BRT was experiencing growing pains associated with expansion – did not deliver the results desired by either party.
He barely survived the 2024 season and then parted ways following the opening round of 2025, with Aaron Cameron taking over at the wheel of the #3 Mustang.
After stepping away from the spotlight for a period, Love returned to national-level competition in Trans Am and then Carrera Cup, faring well in both.
He holds fourth in this year’s Carrera Cup standings.

Love tested a #26 Eggleston Commodore yesterday at Winton Motor Raceway and will slot in alongside the Victorian squad’s regular quartet of Bayley Hall, Cody Burcher, Bradi Owen and Elliott Cleary for the July 31-August 2 meeting at Wanneroo.
“It’s great to have the opportunity to jump back into a Supercar, this time being back in a Super2 car and also making the switch to GM is cool as I grew up a Holden fan,” he said.
“Supercars is where I ultimately want to be, I’ve been there before I know how hard it is, let alone getting there.
“To be a part of Egglestons and have the support from Rachael and Ben for the two rounds is a really cool opportunity.
“They’ve helped groom a lot of drivers into Supercars, and successful ones at that, so I can be pretty confident they run a tight ship and a good program.
“Perth and Sandown are two tracks that I love going to, both being quite unique, so we will be putting our best foot forward and aiming for a strong performance.”
Love does not currently have a co-drive for the 2026 Supercars enduros.
