The upcoming weekend racing action is set to reach a fever pitch with the addition of one of the paddock's most exciting young talents. The Tickford junior driver from South Australia is officially slated to take the wheel of Anthony Di Mauro's #91 entry, a machine that famously claimed the championship crown during the high-stakes Gold Coast 500 weekend. This high-profile addition immediately injects massive intrigue into the upcoming single-day motorsport spectacle.
The bond between Di Mauro and the young protege spans several years, built on a foundation of steadfast mentorship and long-term support for the rising star's career. When the door opened for a last-minute drive at the thrilling season finale of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series at Sydney Motorsport Park, the decision was swiftly made to throw the youngster straight into the deep end of a uniquely formatted, high-reward racing environment featuring mixed grids and substantial cash prizes.
Speaking to Speedcafe, the enthusiastic young driver shared his absolute delight regarding the sudden opportunity. "I definitely took the opportunity with both hands when it came up, when Anthony said that hey, you might be racing this weekend at Sydney," he expressed with genuine excitement. He further added, "It was a pretty last-minute thing, but like I said, I grabbed it with both hands and I am going to have a crack. A massive thanks to all the guys in Aussie Racing Cars, TFH, and Anthony for the opportunity."
Although he previously completed a brief handful of laps in an XJR-powered car at Mallala earlier in the year, hitting the track in Sydney will mark his very first time racing one in a fiercely competitive environment. The sheer thrill of piloting the compact, agile machines caught him by surprise in the best way possible, delivering a visceral sensation of extreme speed that thoroughly impressed a driver already accustomed to high-performance motorsport machinery.
With six intense races on the schedule—highlighted by mixed-grid battles, an entirely inverted field for Race 5, and a lucrative cash-dash finale under the lights—the stage is set for absolute chaos and entertainment. Transitioning from the heavily aerodynamically influenced world of Super2 into these nimble, frantic machines will demand sharp racecraft, and fans tuning into the Sydney venue can expect aggressive battles for position right down to the final checkered flag.
