Dalton, 23, will join Cooper Murray in the team\u2019s #99 Camaro, while Jarrod Hughes stays on to link with Jobe Stewart.<\/p>\n

Stewart starred alongside Murray in the 2025 Enduro Cup and moves into a full-time drive next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bit bittersweet to have to split Cooper and Jobe up after such a strong showing at Bathurst and The Bend this year, but we\u2019re excited by the prospect of having Jarrod and Lochie complete our Enduro Cup line-up,\u201d said team principal Barry Ryan.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of them have proven speed, focus and bring a determination that fits Erebus and what we\u2019re aiming to achieve moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dalton is currently second in the Super2 standings for Tickford and drove in three main game events as a wildcard this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to be joining Erebus for the enduros in 2026 and pairing with Cooper,\u201d said Dalton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve shown yet again this year they know how to perform at Bathurst, and I know Cooper has unfinished business there, so we\u2019re going to give it absolutely everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughes continues with the team after making his Enduro Cup debut alongside Jack Le Brocq at Erebus in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys and girls at Erebus have so much heart and somehow always find a way to pull something out exactly when it\u2019s needed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nowhere else I\u2019d rather be for the 2026 enduros and I can\u2019t wait to get into it with Jobe and see what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
