Cameron meanwhile was a mainstay for several seasons in TCR and S5000 machinery.<\/p>\n<p>GRM will roll out its most iconic race numbers for the occasion on March 27-29.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarry (Rogers) called me and asked if I would do Mustang Cup, and I wasn\u2019t sure to start, but when he said that I was going to be the #33, that was enough for me. I said yes straight away,\u201d said Cameron, who will be armed with a brand-new Dark Horse R.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MUSTANG-CUP_TEST-DAY-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-251168\"  \/>Pic: Supplied<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo race the #33 for GRM is the ultimate.

I\u2019ve raced with GRM in TCR and S5000, but never with #33. That is GRM\u2019s number and I\u2019m honoured to have my name alongside it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving Jimmy and Moff in the team is also really cool. It\u2019s going to be a great reunion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dark Horse Rs are simple, production car style, and I can already see that it\u2019s going to be a fun weekend, racing with mates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Golding meanwhile will run #34 as he did for two full main game seasons.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/superstore.v8sleuth.com.au\/products\/v8-sleuth-commodore-chronicles-vn-vp-vr-vs-book?utm_source=SRBuyButton&amp;utm_medium=website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/commodore-chronicles_1024x1024.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really cool to team up with GRM in the all-new Mustang Cup category at Phillip Island,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese cars look great. They aren\u2019t far away from the production car, but have all the right racing gear that should make the racing close and competitive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFord is clearly putting in a big effort across the motorsport world, and I am proud to represent such a respected brand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny opportunity I get to drive a Ford, I take without thinking about it. Ford\u2019s initiative to find the next crop of young talent though the Mustang Cup is a fantastic opportunity for all up-and-coming drivers in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it is always a privilege to go racing with the GRM team. The crew there are like family to me so it will be nice to slot back into the fold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Golding will race the Dark Horse R that has been at the centre of promotional activities during the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Other big names in the field will include Triple Eight\/SCT co-driver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.v8sleuth.com.au\/stats-driver-48-Jack-Perkins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Perkins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Adderton&#8217;s wild Toyota Camry spin!<\/p>\n<p>A huge lose from Mark Adderton at Lakeside back in 1997 in the Aussie Super Tourers &#8211; and he has another spin not long after he got it all up and rolling again!
