Blanchard Racing Team

It's great to see.

There's some weary heads out the back of the Blanchard racing team today.

And with good reason, Aaron Cameron, one of a few people who managed to hopefully get some sleep in this organisation over the course of the weekend.

Tricky old weekend at the Sandown racetrack.

The kerbs there would just rattle the fillings out of the driver's teeth.

But it's hard on the teams as well.

You've got to think Blanchard Racing Team didn't leave the track... uh the flies were following the mechanics around they stink no they didn't quite that bad it's such a good job but i mean you've got to say thank you to all the crews and the teams and the volunteers and the officials of everyone who brings these races to life because um it's

a big job chad a very very big job uh let's see if we get maddie roberts in the pod i know i i understand the scrunched up face mate and i sympathize um tough day tough day tough tough weekend huh um does it feel like a what could have been sort of day

So it's a bit of a slam dunk for me.

We know what you can and can't do these days, but it does open up a few more cans of worms, doesn't it? I mean, Blanchard Racing Team, for example, has a technical alliance with Triple Eight.

So perhaps they could call on James Golding, but...

Zach, I just love the talking points.

Next one up.

Sorry, Blanchard Racing Kit.

Next one up to you.

No, I'm joking.

We're going to have a chat to Chaz Mostert a little bit later on in the show.

But Aaron Cameron, who's an up-and-coming driver for Blanchard Racing.

Strange cat.

Now, he was, and like they do, they do the grid interviews and the access is fantastic in supercars.

We saw a couple of incidents that were unpanelized, which we might talk about a little bit more, but the lack of blue flags, particularly for David Reynolds, couldn't believe that.

And then, yeah, again, kind of like Bathurst, we saw a couple of incidents that you think, well, this could be a safety car, but they let the situation resolve itself, which was both of those Blanchard Racing Team Mustangs coming to grief in separate incidents at the same spot on the track.

Zach Bates had a pretty hairy moment with one of them, but they elected not to call the safety car.

Yeah, that was wild.

Yeah.

Didn't qualify in the 10 in the dry, but I think they would have been pretty confident they had something decent in the wet.

But again, Blanchard Racing Team just not executing the races.

Mm-hmm.

If we think about where Brodie, particularly Brodie and Will are right now.

The Blanchard Racing team have confirmed a multi-year contract extension for Aaron Cameron.

Cameron has been part of the BRT lineup since 2025 when he took over from Aaron Love following the Sydney season opener and sits 20th in the championship right now.

Cameron has shown flashes of speed with regular top 10 performances and a breakthrough podium at Sydney Motorsport Park this year.

It's kind of got an unusual backstory too, because it's, um, one of those chassis that was, um, fabricated by, uh, James White, who works for Erebus.

Uh, and it was actually initially done for the Blanchard Racing Team.

Mm.

They took delivery of it, but they never built it up into a car, and when they decided to go a different direction with their Triple Eight customer deal, DJR pounced on this one, and now it's, uh, become actually Jimmy White's third Bathurst winner.

But, um, yeah, we're, we're in a, we're in a different world to, say, when, um, when Jamie Whincup ran out of fuel in, in 2014.

Yeah, absolutely.

All right, let's finish up with the last bit of news, and that is that Aaron Cameron has signed a new multi-year deal with Blanchard Racing Team, which runs until at least the end of the 2028 season.

I like this, Stefan.
