Big news has just dropped from the Premiair Nulon Racing camp this afternoon! Taking to Instagram, the team shared their excitement over the newest addition to their growing roster. Team boss Peter Xiberras is thrilled to welcome Richie Stanaway to the team, fresh off their first-ever podium finish at the Sandown 500. It’s a move that’s sure to shake things up in the world of Supercars.
Stanaway’s signing comes on the heels of Tim Slade’s recent announcement to retire, which had fans and insiders alike speculating about who would fill his shoes. While there were whispers about Richie for a few weeks, his strong showing at Bathurst was thought to seal the deal.
Leaving Grove Racing at the end of the season, Richie will be trading in his seat for the sunnier climate of the Gold Coast—a homecoming of sorts for the Kiwi-born driver. This bold move signals an exciting new chapter for Premiair Nulon Racing as they continue to make waves in the Supercars championship.
