Erebus Motorsport and Will Brown will part ways at the conclusion of the 2023 season, one year earlier than his contract end date, a statement from the team has confirmed tonight. The announcement states that the decision was amicable, with Brown set to explore new opportunities.
“Will has been a part of our team for almost six years, and while we are disappointed to see him go, it will be business as usual for the remainder of 2023,” Erebus CEO Barry Ryan said.
“It’s been an incredible journey with Erebus, and I’m grateful for the experiences and opportunities I’ve had with the team,” Brown said.
“This decision wasn’t taken lightly, and I want to thank Erebus, the entire team, sponsors, and fans for their support during my time here.
“I’ll be giving my all in the remaining races and remain 100% committed to our joint goal of winning the Driver’s and Team’s Championship with Erebus in 2023.”
Triple Eight Race Engineering has responded to the news by issuing a statement of their own, reading: “Shane [van Gisbergen] is a contracted driver with Triple Eight until advised otherwise. If this changes, it will be communicated by the team. We will be making no further comment.”
Brown’s future with the team has been uncertain for several days, with Australian media linking him with a move to replace Shane van Gisbergen at Red Bull.
He will remain a part of the Erebus Motorsport driver lineup for the remainder of the 2023 Supercars season, which continues next weekend at The Bend.
