There have been a number of driver confirmations in recent weeks that have closed off the majority of the lingering question marks.<\/p>\n
They include the likes of Team 18 taking up David Reynolds\u2019 option for next season<\/a> and James Golding confirming his move to Blanchard Racing Team.<\/a><\/p>\n PremiAir responded to Golding\u2019s exit with confirmation of an all-new line-up for next season with Jayden Ojeda and Declan Fraser<\/a>, which has left Richie Stanaway without a full-time seat.<\/p>\n Jack Le Brocq\u2019s move to Matt Stone Racing is now official<\/a> as is that promising rookie Jobe Stewart will join Cooper Murray in the Erebus Motorsport line-up.<\/a><\/p>\n All of those movements leave two primary unconfirmed seats for next season, one each at MSR and BRT.<\/p>\n It is widely expected that Aaron Cameron will continue in the BRT seat that he took over from Aaron Love in the early stages of this season.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Super2 champion Zach Bates has emerged as the outright favourite to step up to the main game alongside Le Brocq at MSR.<\/p>\n Once those seats are confirmed, the grid would officially be set, save for any unexpected changes from under-contract drivers.<\/p>\n The other unconfirmed aspect of next season is the Supercheap Auto-backed wildcard, which was initially earmarked for Rylan Gray, who has since elected to look at other options.<\/p>\n There is talk that is through his existing ties with Ford who would like to keep him in Mustangs rather than making a GM switch.<\/p>\n That could have been a different outcome had Supercheap continued the program with Triple Eight amid its Ford defection, rather than remaining loyal to Craig Lowndes and GM and moving to Team 18.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Hill’s defection to Brad Jones Racing has left a vacancy at MSR.
