EXPECT to see a new player in town next year in the Dunlop Super2 Series.
Namely, Tristan Pitts and his start-up Project Motorsport team.
The 41-year-old has announced plans to enter Supercars’ feeder category in 2027 and beyond, based out of a southeast Queensland facility.
Pitts has already struck a deal to lease two Triple Eight-built Holden ZB Commodores for season one; now he is on the hunt for drivers to fill those seats.
“I have always been in motorsport and wanted to do motorsport,” Pitts told V8 Sleuth.
“I helped out a friend’s dad when he was doing V8 BRutes and sort of got the bug for it then.”
Fast forward to now and it’s going to be his turn to call the shots.
“Signing drivers. That’s the main thing (that needs to happen),” said Pitts, who operates in the transport industry with business Yatala Heavy Vehicle Mechanical and Repair.
“We’ve got trailers in place. We’ve got the workshop. We’ve got a few good guys in our corner.
“Everything is set up and ready to go, we just need drivers to come in and say ‘we’re going to commit to this’ and then off we go.”
Part of a proud Holden family, Pitts is committed to staying on the General Motors side when Gen3 machinery takes over Super2 in 2028.
“A plan is already in place there for when the Camaro is right to come through,” he said.
That’s not all that is in the pipeline, either, with aspirations to become a Supercars Championship team owner down the track.
“That’s the plan. You have got to crawl before you can walk,” said Pitts.
Another three rounds are to come in this year’s Super2 Series, with Bathurst next up.
