Mark WinterbottomGUEST
So we had a bit going on.
James PaveyHOST
Frosty, it was a tough lead-in to the round for Walkinshaw TWG Racing and Toyota.
James PaveyHOST
A lot of work had gone into that engine program.
James PaveyHOST
They brought in the B-spec engine for QR.
Aaron NoonanHOST
Now, of course, this is across their era with Holden, Ord, and now Toyota.
Aaron NoonanHOST
Those big bulk of numbers is very much from the team red Holden Racing team era from some of the greats of the sport.
James MoffatHOST

Scott PyeHOST
I hope for Toyota, like we talked about this after the debrief, the amount of effort.
Scott PyeHOST
And it's like- it's kind of why I hate the parody thing because people put effort in and they should get rewarded for their effort and I feel bad for the engine department at Walkinshaw because they're on a team.
Scott PyeHOST
They work so hard and then to have these failures, it's not like no one deserves it.
Elliot BarbourHOST
Yeah, it was a faulty bearing.
John PainterHOST
Hmm, that was parked out of precaution at Supercars ride day.
John PainterHOST
Walkinshaw's TWG Racing reverted to running just one of its Toyota Supras for the passenger ride day at, uh, Queensland Raceway out of precaution.
John PainterHOST
This is from Jack Fletcher, who was at Speed Cafe.
Craig StottHOST
He's new, isn't he?
Craig StottHOST
Macauley Jones, number 96 entry, was the only Supra to complete the Ipswich round with A-spec motor.
Craig StottHOST
The full scope of the latest issue has not been revealed yet.
Craig StottHOST
A Walkinshaw TWG Racing representative told Speed Cafe that a problem was spotted in the data during the Wednesday morning passenger laps.
Craig StottHOST
The engine continued to run, but the team elected to park Chaz's car as a precaution.

So, you know, it's a slightly different role to what I'm used to of the past two years, but, you know, really excited to get started.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Zach, straight out the gate, where do you stand with Walkinshaw
Zac DowdellHOST
TWG Racing? I think their enduro is going to be dictated by that R word we were speaking about before in reliability.
Zac DowdellHOST
There's no question that their driver lineup is phenomenal.
12 MINS LATER
James PaveyHOST
Both AAA cars went on the wall.
James PaveyHOST
Frosty went in the wall.
James PaveyHOST
The Walkinshaw cars had problems.
James PaveyHOST
And Kostecki's alternator.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
So that's like really cool.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
So that was Chaz's ex-race engineer at Tickford and moved over to Walkinshaw with him.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
I think it's pretty cool.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
But yeah, obviously we saw that brake failure.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
Yeah.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
But there's always like the, you know, us, the Groves, TA, you know, Tickford, it's, you know, Walkinshaw, whether it's not dropping a cylinder.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
That's just the truth, unfortunately.
Brodie KosteckiHOST
Like it's very unfortunate for them.
Craig StottHOST
A several month long development.
Craig StottHOST
Tide Homologation Team, Walkinshaw TWG Racing and UK based engine partner Swindon Powertrains have been working on a reliability upgrade throughout the season and are set to deploy the B-Spec engine.
Craig StottHOST
The Toyota project hit the ground running in 2026 with Ryan Wood, Chas Mossford and Andre Heimgartner helping the new Supra to three wins across the first five rounds.
John PainterHOST
Reigning champion Mossord, Wood and Heimgartner are all in contention to qualify for the 2026 Supercar Final with three rounds remaining before the cut-off.
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
But some troubling signs seeing Chaz Mostert roll to a ho- well, not roll to a halt, but have to limp back to pit lane, pull into the garage a- and was ultimately ruled out of the race with, uh, an engine issue as well, which is on the B-spec Toyota, which is meant to be the, the big reliability upgrade.
Andrew van LeeuwenHOST
Um, yeah, you'd reckon there's a bit of nervousness around Walkinshaw this evening.
Stefan BartholomaeusHOST
Yeah.
Stefan BartholomaeusHOST
Well, you were down there in the garage afterwards.
