The new liveries were revealed today at Distillery Road Market in Eagleby, Queensland, not far from the team\u2019s Yatala headquarters.<\/p>\n

Sherrin Rentals returns to the grid full time with Le Brocq after sponsoring the wildcard effort of Aaron Seton and Cameron Crick in 2025.<\/p>\n

A key minor sponsorship change comes with the return of Tyrepower, which has followed Le Brocq back to MSR from his stint at Erebus Motorsport.<\/p>\n

Tyrepower had previously been a major backer at MSR, featuring on Cameron Hill\u2019s car at the beginning of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

After two seasons at Erebus, Le Brocq\u2019s return to the team represents somewhat of a homecoming for the driver.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s first race victory in Supercars came at Hidden Valley in 2023 at the hands of Le Brocq, just his second career win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to partner back with Matt and the team. We had great success together, especially our win in Darwin in 2023, and I love Matt\u2019s relentless determination to drive the team forward,\u201d said Le Brocq.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get behind the wheel of the Sherrin Rentals Camaro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Braking component manufacturer Bendix returns as the major backer of car #10, this year piloted by rookie sensation Zach Bates, replacing the now Triple Eight co-driver Nick Percat.<\/p>\n

The familiar blue livery remains largely unchanged, save for some minor design tweaks and some refreshed minor sponsorship.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Super2 Series winner made a handful of wildcard starts in the Supercars Championship in 2025, notably finishing the Bathurst 1000 in 10th alongside Craig Lowndes.<\/p>\n

Bates is eager to hit the ground running at round one of the season in Sydney.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past couple of years have been amazing for me,\u201d said Bates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the Super2 championship in 2024, and partnering with a legend like Craig Lowndes in 2025. Now, I\u2019m thrilled to take the next step by joining Matt Stone Racing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got plenty to learn, but I\u2019ve got the right team behind me and I can\u2019t wait to go racing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Team owner Matt Stone declared it \u201can important year for our team\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have invested significantly in our people in the off-season to supercharge our growth and rise to the top,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a real buzz in our workshop this year, the whole team is determined to succeed on and off-track. I\u2019m very pleased with the direction we\u2019re headed as an organisation, and I can\u2019t wait for racing to begin in Sydney later this month\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Repco Supercars Championship season commences with the Dunlop Sydney 500 at Sydney Motorsport Park on February 20-22.<\/p>\n
