THE international scrutiny surrounding TWG Global is set to have no impact on the leading Supercars team the group co-owns.
It was announced in February 2025 that Walkinshaw Andretti United was joining the TWG fold, with Dan Towriss replacing Michael Andretti as a director.
In February this year, the team name officially transitioned from WAU to Walkinshaw TWG Racing. That followed Zak Brown/United Autosports’ departure, with Scott O’Donnell later announced as joining Towriss and Ryan Walkinshaw in the triumvirate.
Fast forward to now and the spotlight has been shining on the broader TWG Global group amid United States investigations into its financial conduct.
TWG Global boss Mark Walter this month sold NBA giant Los Angeles Lakers, leading to speculation over whether a similar course of action could occur with his other sporting assets including the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB).
TWG Motorsports is represented in six categories: as Cadillac in Formula 1, Spire Motorsports in NASCAR, Andretti Global in both IndyCar and Formula E, Wayne Taylor Racing in IMSA, and Walkinshaw TWG Racing in Supercars.
Amid questions in the F1 paddock ahead of this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, TWG issued the following statement: “TWG is not considering a sale of the Cadillac team or any other part of TWG Motorsport.”
Walkinshaw TWG won the 2025 Supercars drivers’ championship through Chaz Mostert and has impressively spearheaded Toyota’s entry into the category this year via a V8-powered Gen3 Supra.
Both Mostert and teammate Ryan Wood have won races this season and are on course for finals berths.
Notably, at this weekend’s Ipswich Super440, an upgraded B-spec engine is being debuted in four of the five Supras (all bar Macauley Jones’) in what is hoped to be a major step forward in reliability ahead of the enduros.
