It might sound a little strange to suggest that one of the winners from the Supercars races at Albert Park was Cameron Waters. After all, his clean sweep at Sydney Motorsport Park last month marked Waters as the driver to beat to the championship.

Craig Lowndes has announced that he will split with his team of 20 years, Triple Eight, at the end of the season, to remain a General Motors driver in 2026. Lowndes will join with a to-be-named Chevrolet Supercars team while Triple Eight becomes a Ford team next season. He joined Triple Eight when it was a Ford team in 2005 and took the team’s maiden V8 Supercars victory the same year. He has won six Bathurst 1000 races with the team, which switched to GM’s Holden brand in 2010.

One of the jigsaw pieces of General Motors’ Supercars future has been placed, with confirmation that KRE Race Engines will continue to supply engines to Chevrolet teams. GM confirmed the news in a statement on Friday, meaning that all the Camaro teams will continue, as now, to source their 5.7-litre V8s from a pool of motors supplied by the Queensland-based builder. In the same fashion Motorsport Powertrains, which is now owned by Dick Johnson Racing, supplies engines to the Ford Supercars teams.
