MASTERTON Motorsports has confirmed it will run rookie Hamish Fitzsimmons in the 2026 Dunlop Super2 Series.<\/p>\n

First flagged last week<\/a>, the partnership will put the youngster who has cut his teeth in Porsche one-make racing aboard a Tickford-built Ford Supercar.<\/p>\n

Fitzsimmons will make his Super2 debut next week at Sydney Motorsport Park, where he impressed during a recent test.<\/p>\n

\u201cStraight out of the gate, he was on the pace,\u201d team owner James Masterton<\/a> reported to V8 Sleuth.<\/p>\n

The car will have some serious engineering firepower behind it, with Chaz Mostert<\/a>\u2019s former long-time right-hand-man Adam DeBorre pulling the strings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have done this without Adam. It\u2019s a good fit,\u201d said Masterton.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It was through DeBorre and another prominent industry figure, Paul Ceprnich, that driver and team were connected in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had already locked Adam in for the entire season with another driver, but that fell through,\u201d Masterton explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdam was still keen to work with us, so when Paul Ceprnich went to Adam and asked if the car was still available (for Fitzsimmons), it all went from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The car is the same Gen2 Mustang which Jonathon Webb<\/a> raced in the second-tier series last October at Bathurst.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a last-minute rush, but it was quick and I think we have got it a bit better again,\u201d said Masterton.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent a lot of time over the Christmas break just double checking everything is spot on. I think we\u2019re going to have a good car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzsimmons is the 15th driver officially announced for Sydney Super2.<\/p>\n

Eggleston Motorsport will field as many as four cars, none of which currently have a name formally attached to them, while Matt Chahda<\/a> Motorsport may yet reveal a second driver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MASTERTON Motorsports has confirmed it will run rookie Hamish Fitzsimmons in the 2026 Dunlop Super2 Series.
