A surprising development in the lively Supercars offseason involves Courtney, who is rumored to be considering a transition to the currently solitary BRT team.
Reports indicate that Courtney is in discussions for a prominent driving role at BRT, where he could also take on a mentorship role for Aaron Love if the team’s expansion plan to include two cars moves forward.
This expansion is expected to be made possible by Tickford Racing’s decision to sell two of its Teams Racing Charters back to Supercars. One of these charters will reportedly be transferred to BRT, while the fate of the other remains uncertain.
Although there has been some external interest in the Tickford entries, potentially impacting BRT’s expansion aspirations, it’s likely that Supercars will ultimately maintain control over the Teams Racing Charters.
With Tickford Racing downsizing its operations, Courtney has become available for other opportunities. Among Tickford’s current drivers, Cam Waters and Thomas Randle appear to be the most probable to stay.
The situation surrounding Todd Hazelwood, the current driver at BRT, remains unclear due to the rapidly changing driver market landscape.
Previously, there were rumors linking Courtney to the Grove Racing seat, but this position will now be occupied by Richie Stanaway next year.
As a result, the primary vacancy left is at Matt Stone Racing, while stable lineups are anticipated at Brad Jones Racing and PremiAir Racing.
Ryan Wood is emerging as a top contender to join Walkinshaw Andretti United, as Fabian Coulthard has publicly stated that he won’t be pursuing this opportunity.
