BJR Confirms 2026 Co-driver line-up
Brad Jones Racing is excited to announce its long-awaited co-driver line-up for the 2026 Endurance Cup.
Bryce Fullwood, Brad Vaughan and Jordan Boys will complete BJR's three car assault across the endurance season.
Fullwood returns to the team after departing at the end of 2025 following four seasons with the Albury-based outfit. The crew is thrilled to welcome the Northern Territorian back into the fold.
He will partner Kiwi Andre Heimgartner in the #8 R&J Batteries Toyota GR Supra, with Fullwood to get his first laps in the Toyota at the Queensland Raceway test day later this month.
Brad Vaughan remains with the #14 entry, although plenty has changed since last year's endurance campaign.
Vaughan will partner with race-winner Cameron Hill in the brand new Toyota machinery.
The South Australian will also be looking to make the most of his home-track advantage when the Endurance Cup begins at The Bend (September 11-13).
Vaughan also races for the team in the Super2 series, where this year he has already had a race win and currently sits 4th in the drivers’ standings.
Jordan Boys and Macauley Jones reunite for a fifth consecutive endurance campaign, continuing one of the longest-standing driver pairings in the field.
All three co-drivers will get behind the wheel of the Toyota GR Supra at the Queensland Raceway test day on August 25, giving them the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the new Supercar, refine ergonomics and continue building chemistry with their full-time team-mates.
The team will then head to the opening endurance event, the Airtouch 500 at The Bend (September 11-13), before tackling the Repco Bathurst 1000 on October 8-11.

Team owner, Brad Jones Racing
“We’ve got a pretty familiar line-up for this year, and all three of our co-drivers know our team and our crew really well. That’s a real advantage as we head into the Enduros, particularly as we continue to build our experience with the Supra in its first Enduro campaigns.
“It’s great to have Bryce back in the team. The value he brings as a co-driver is a real strength and he knows the way we work, so he won’t take long to get up to speed in the Supra. He’s also got a great crew around him with Phil [Keed, Race Engineer] and Andre, so hopefully they can make the most of the QR test day, put plenty of laps on the car and lay a strong foundation heading into The Bend.
“Obviously, we’ve seen what Brad can do over the years. He’s a multiple Super2 race winner and he’s got plenty of speed, so I’m really pleased to give him another opportunity in the car this year alongside Cam. It’s a good combination, and I think they’ll work really well together.
“Jordan is a bit of a no-brainer for us. He fits in so well with our crew, and he and Macca just gel. They’ve built a really good relationship, so it’s a pairing that works really naturally for us. We’re really happy to have them back together and heading into another Enduro campaign.
“This is the first Enduro season for the GR Supra Supercar, so there’s a lot for us to learn and plenty of work to get through. Having three co-drivers who already understand our team and the way we operate gives us a really solid platform to build from.
"I’m excited however to see three BJR Supras line-up on the grid at Bathurst, that’s going to be a very special moment for me and our team.”
Bryce Fullwood
Supercars Co-driver, #8 R&J Batteries GR Supra
“I’m really looking forward to getting into the Supra. From what I’ve seen from the outside, it looks pretty cool, so it’ll be great to finally get behind the wheel and see what it’s like. I’m keen to get stuck into the test day and start getting comfortable in the car.
“Coming back into the team feels pretty natural. Obviously, the crew is a bit different on this side of the garage, but I’m back working with Phil [Keed, Race Engineer], which is great. We’ve worked together quite a lot over the years and have a really good relationship, so it’s nice to have that familiarity coming back into the team.
“Teaming up with Andre is a great opportunity. After the run he had at Bathurst last year in some pretty wild conditions, there was plenty to be encouraged by. Going from team-mates to co-drivers is an interesting change, but we’ve had a good working relationship over the last few years, so I’m looking forward to getting on track at the test day and then heading to The Bend in the R&J Batteries colours.”

Supercars Co-driver, #14 GR Supra
“Thanks to Brad and the team for giving me another opportunity to be part of the Enduros this year. I feel like we had a bit more to give last year, so I’m really keen to get back in the seat and have another crack at it.
“The Bend is pretty much my home round, and I’ve done a lot of laps around there over the years. With the switch to the West Layout, hopefully that experience can give us a bit of an advantage and help us hit the ground running.
“It’ll be great to work with Cam. He’s a real professional and has had some strong results in the past, including a top-five finish at Bathurst last year. Hopefully we can build on that and put ourselves in the mix for another strong result in 2026.”
Jordan Boys,
Supercars Co-driver, #96 GR Supra
“Can’t believe it’s Macca and I’s fifth year co-driving together. We’ve known each other since we were kids and still see plenty of each other around Albury, so we’ve got a really comfortable relationship. That makes jumping back in the car together each year pretty easy.
“I’ve been looking forward to getting into the Supra all year, so the test day at QR will be a pretty special moment. It’ll be great to finally get behind the wheel and get some laps under my belt before we head to The Bend. I can’t wait to get there and see what we can do.”
