Overview
- The team announced on Tuesday that it will run a wildcard entry at the October 8–11 Bathurst 1000 with James Moffat and Nathan Herne sharing the car.
- GRM bought an ex‑Triple Eight Chevrolet Camaro rather than lease one after lease costs proved prohibitive, a move that the team says could enable more Supercars entries if the Bathurst program succeeds.
- Longtime sponsor Valvoline has signed on as a major backer and GRM named key crew members to run the entry, including team manager Stefan Millard and engine man Jeff Marshall.
- The squad has only one official test day scheduled in September and still needs to finalise its race engineer, participation in GM data sharing and some budget details ahead of the race.
- Herne was denied a Superlicence dispensation for GRM’s 2020 wildcard but has since earned enough points through Trans Am results to be eligible, and this entry is presented by the team as a way to fulfil late founder Garry Rogers’ wish to get him to Bathurst.
