BJR Confirms 2026 Enduro Pairings, Fullwood Returns with Heimgartner

Brad Jones Racing has locked in its Enduro Cup line-up for 2026, retaining a largely familiar set of pairings. Bryce Fullwood will again partner Andre Heimgartner in the #8 Toyota Supra, Brad Vaughan stays alongside new full-timer Cam Hill in the #14, and the Macauley Jones/Jordan Boys combination continues for a fifth consecutive year.

The decision was widely expected, given Fullwood's previous full-time role with the squad. His race sharpness remains evident after appearances at the 24 Hours of Spa and a one-off Mustang Cup outing at Hidden Valley this season, making him a valuable asset for the endurance rounds.

All three co-drivers will get their first taste of the Toyota Supra package during the full-field test day at Queensland Raceway on August 25. This marks a critical step as BJR continues to build experience with the Supra in its maiden endurance campaign.

Team owner Brad Jones highlighted the benefit of continuity. "We've got a pretty familiar line-up for this year, and all three of our co-drivers know our team and our crew really well," he said. "That's a real advantage as we head into the enduros, particularly as we continue to build our experience with the Supra in its first enduro campaign."

The Heimgartner-Fullwood pairing looms as one of the strongest on the grid, given Fullwood's recent full-time experience. The 28-year-old admitted the return felt natural. "Coming back into the team feels pretty natural," he said. "Obviously, the crew is a bit different on this side of the garage, but I'm back working with [engineer] Phil [Keed], which is great. We've worked together quite a lot over the years and have a really good relationship."

Fullwood also acknowledged the shift from teammate to co-driver. "Teaming up with Andre is a great opportunity. After the run he had at Bathurst last year in some pretty wild conditions, there was plenty to be encouraged by," he said. "Going from teammates to co-drivers is an interesting change, but we've had a good working relationship over the last few years, so I'm looking forward to getting on track at the test day and then heading to The Bend in the R&J Batteries colours."

Vaughan, meanwhile, is eager to work with Hill, having co-driven with Fullwood last year. "It'll be great to work with Cam," Vaughan said. "He's a real professional and has had some strong results in the past, including a top-five finish at Bathurst last year. Hopefully we can build on that and put ourselves in the mix for another strong result in 2026."

This October will mark Fullwood's ninth Bathurst 1000 start, while Boys and Vaughan are set to contest the event for a sixth and third time respectively.
