Prepare yourself for a busy few weeks. Between now and when the season kicks off at Sydney Motorsport Park we\u2019ll have livery launches, parity testing and the proper pre-season test.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not the mention the intrigue of Triple Eight\u2019s switch to Ford and a first proper look at the five Toyota Supras that will join the Supercars field the very first time.<\/p>\n
Anyway, here\u2019s your guide to when each team will pull the covers off their respective 2026 cars.<\/p>\n
Dick Johnson Racing \u2013 February 1<\/p>\n
DJR will formally launch its season at the turn of the month.<\/p>\n
No great surprises are expected on the livery front, but there could be a change in terms of race numbers. Expect Brodie Kostecki to take over the famous #17 from Will Davison, leaving a question mark over which number rookie Rylan Gray will sport.<\/p>\n
SCT Motorsport \u2013 February 6<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an exciting new era for the SCT Motorsport. For 2026 it splits with long-time technical partner Brad Jones Racing and joins the Triple Eight fold as a third entry. Rookie driver Jackson Walls is one of the great unknowns of the new season and his progress will be fascinating to watch.<\/p>\n
Triple Eight \u2013 February 7<\/p>\n
The primary T8 cars \u2013 AKA Red Bull Ampol Racing \u2013 will be unveiled a day later on the foreshore in Geelong.<\/p>\n
Why Geelong, for a Brisbane-based team? Because this is a celebration of T8\u2019s return to the Ford fold, and Geelong is the Ford\u2019s Australian home.<\/p>\n
Grove Racing \u2013 February 7<\/p>\n
The on-the-rise Ford squad will launch its latest campaign with a Cars & Coffee event at main sponsor Penrite\u2019s Dandenong South HQ on February 7.<\/p>\n
The event will feature returning primary drivers Matt Payne and Kai Allen, as well as impressive new enduro recruits Tim Slade and Will Davison.<\/p>\n
Matt Stone Racing \u2013 February 8<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a new era for MSR with one returning driver in Jack Le Brocq, and exciting rookie Zach Bates.<\/p>\n
As recently announced Le Brocq will line up in Sherrin Rentals colours while Bates takes over the Bendix entry.<\/p>\n
Walkinshaw Andretti United\/Walkinshaw TWG Racing \u2013 February 8<\/p>\n
A confusing one, this. Right now the team is still known as WAU, but launch time it will be Walkinshaw TWG Racing, or perhaps WTR.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the point is that the covers will come off its brand new Toyota Supras on February 8.<\/p>\n
S0 far we\u2019ve seen the Supras in the matte black testing livery, the grey wind tunnel livery and the most recent TGR look with the post-aero test update.<\/p>\n
What will be fascinating is seeing the Supra in a proper race livery. A launch not to miss.<\/p>\n
Team 18 \u2013 February 10<\/p>\n
This is a team on the rise. Officially now Chevrolet\u2019s factory outfit and having finished 2025 with some handy form.<\/p>\n
The launch will be very interesting. Speculation suggests David Reynolds could have a lot of Snowy River Caravans on his car. And perhaps James Courtney as a co-driver\u2026<\/p>\n
Blanchard Racing Team \u2013 February 12<\/p>\n
What a season that lies ahead for BRT. A Triple Eight technical deal, a new driver signing in James Golding and a second year for promising rookie Aaron Cameron.<\/p>\n
Tickford Racing \u2013 February 12<\/p>\n
Unlikely to be any surprises on the livery front for Tickford, but is anybody complaining?<\/p>\n
Erebus Motorsport \u2013 February 16<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard not to be excited about Erebus heading into this season. The promising Cooper Murray in a second season, and Jobe Stewart arriving off the back of an amazing enduro campaign. Both will be fascinating viewing.<\/p>\n
PremiAir Racing \u2013 February 17<\/p>\n
A critical year for PremiAir. Roland Dane has been drafted in as team principal, a clear sign of intention. And an all-new driver line-up in promising rookie Jayden Ojeda and former Super2 champion Declan Fraser.<\/p>\n
Brad Jones Racing \u2013 TBC<\/p>\n
The only team to not have made its launch date public. One of the most anticipated, though, as Supercars fans wait to see how these Supras look in proper liveries.<\/p>\n
All we know at this point in terms of the commercial side is that R&J Batteries will continue its backing of the Andre Heimgartner entry.<\/p>\n
