Murray has left Erebus Motorsport to make an early arrival with PremiAir Racing ahead of the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
As revealed by Speedcafe, Murray\u2019s early move was facilitated by the early departure of Declan Fraser whose season comes to a premature end.<\/p>\n
\u201cCooper has signed up with us for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, so it makes sense to have him on board now for the end of the current campaign,\u201d said PremiAir owner Peter Xiberras.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have him joining us.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his debut season, Murray finished 18th in the drivers\u2019 championship with Erebus Motorsport in 2025.<\/p>\n
His maiden campaign included a standout performance in the rain-hit Bathurst 1000, in which he claimed a career-best fourth place finish.<\/p>\n
With three rounds remaining in his second season, Murray sits 18th in the drivers\u2019 championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited to be joining PremiAir Racing and getting started with the team at the Gold Coast, said Murray.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith 2027 and 2028 locked in, these final three events give us a great opportunity to start working together and build towards next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting to know the engineers and crew, understanding how the team operates and getting comfortable in the Camaro.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s also great to continue within the GM Motorsport family.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to Peter and Roland for the opportunity and their belief in me. I\u2019m keen to get to work and make the most of these remaining rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the second year straight that PremiAir has made an early move to depose one of its drivers.<\/p>\n
In 2025, Richie Stanaway was dropped for the Sandown 500 and Adelaide Grand Final in favour of Jayden Ojeda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cooper Murray drove for Erebus Motorsport.
