Dane founded Triple Eight\u2019s Australian arm, going on to oversee an unprecedented run of success.<\/p>\n
His comeback will be as team principal of the championship\u2019s newest squad, PremiAir Racing<\/a>, starting January 1 (albeit having already appeared in the garage last month at Sandown and Adelaide).<\/p>\n \u201cHaving him back in the pitlane is good for the sport, because he is a formidable operator,\u201d Story told V8 Sleuth.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has had more success than anyone. That success, it\u2019s an enviable record, and let me tell you this as someone with experience: there is nothing greater in the world almost than beating that bloke.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling because you know you have beaten the best.<\/p>\n \u201cSo to have him back in the sport is terrific, he will do very good things at PremiAir, and it\u2019s incredibly motivating for everyone because to beat the best means you\u2019re doing something right.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll do great things there.\u201d<\/p>\n PremiAir is coming off a disappointing 2025 campaign in which it finished 10th in the teams\u2019 championship.<\/p>\n It will start afresh in 2026 with a fresh primary driver line-up of Jayden Ojeda<\/a> and Declan Fraser<\/a>, while competition director Ludo Lacroix is departing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THEY\u2019RE considered sworn enemies.
