He\u2019s a good young steerer who runs at the front, so it works well for us to have someone like that in our car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for him, it\u2019s about getting him back on track at short notice with a tight turnaround from Bathurst to the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen next year we\u2019ll have two GR Cup cars running and two to three in the Scholarship Series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll try to lock in all our drivers in Scholarship and GR this side of Christmas and hopefully, the plan is one of them will be a driver that\u2019s been running in karts with JND for the past 12 months or so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll expand our factory karting team as well. The final number of karts we\u2019ll field in 2026 is not confirmed but it will be somewhere around the 15 mark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith our JND karting team we look forward to helping all Parolin drivers across the country and make sure the Parolin kart is strong across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/speedcafe.com\/supercars-news-nick-percat-announces-retirement-full-time-racing-msr-silly-season\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Percat is set to bring his full-time Supercars career to an end at the conclusion of this season.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick Percat&#8217;s JDN outfit is expanding.
