OLIVER Boone is set to make his Repco Supercars Championship race engineering debut at next week\u2019s Penrite Oil Sandown 500.<\/p>\n

V8 Sleuth understands the young gun will step up from data engineer to take the reins on Nick Percat<\/a>\u2019s #10 Bendix Camaro for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Boone, who got his first break with Garry Rogers<\/a> Motorsport, notably guided Cameron Crick<\/a> and Dean Campbell to victory in this year\u2019s Bathurst 6 Hour.<\/p>\n

Percat and Boone are known to get along well and with MSR out of the finals hunt, the reshuffle shapes as valuable experience for Boone ahead of a team reset for 2026.<\/p>\n

Jack Bellotti, who combined with Percat for two race wins last year, will remain with the team as head of engineering.<\/p>\n

The restructure could well be a preview to next season, when Jack Le Brocq rejoins the Yatala operation<\/a>, with Boone and Caleb Mutsaerts<\/a> operating under the watch of Bellotti and technical coordinator Paul Forgie.<\/p>\n

Both Percat and Cameron Hill<\/a> are on the way out of MSR, the former retiring as a full-timer<\/a> and the latter off to Brad Jones Racing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zach Bates<\/a> is widely expected to be Le Brocq\u2019s 2026 teammate.<\/p>\n
