Rising racing talent Cooper Murray is preparing for a crucial new chapter in his professional motorsport career within the Supercars championship. His arrival at the PremiAir Racing garage marks a major step forward as the team officially confirmed the use of the #36 racing number for the debutant driver. The selection of this specific figure is far more than an administrative choice, serving instead as a deep personal tribute since his father, Adam, raced with the exact same number in his own career.
The historical presence of the #36 number was last seen on the main Supercars grid back in the 2014 season, when it was campaigned by Nissan Motorsport driver Michael Caruso. Now, this iconic digit is set to return to active competition thanks to the management policy at PremiAir Racing, which consistently grants its drivers total freedom to choose their preferred racing identity from day one.
Team owner Peter Xiberras firmly believes that a car number holds profound psychological meaning for any racing athlete. According to an official statement released by the team headquarters, allowing Cooper to bring his familial legacy number aims to foster an immediate sense of ownership and a strong emotional connection between the driver and their machine.
"The decision to allow Cooper to bring that number with him to PremiAir Racing is no accident," the team stated officially, emphasizing how critical mental comfort is for a driver facing a fiercely competitive grid. This philosophy is expected to maximize motivation as the young competitor battles against top-tier rivals throughout the championship.
Cooper's arrival at PremiAir Racing follows a roster shake-up that saw Declan Fraser dropped in the aftermath of the iconic Bathurst 1000 endurance classic. Meanwhile, the seat left vacant by Cooper at Erebus Motorsport will be taken over by Jarddo Hughes, a long-standing academy graduate widely expected to campaign the #99 entry.
