Jaxon Evans will remain with SCT Motorsport for the 2025 Supercars season, a release from the the team has confirmed.
Evans has well and truly shown his ability behind the wheel of a Supercar throughout his rookie season and SCT Motorsport are excited to head into 2025 with high expectations.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Australia and France Championship winner’s first full-time season in Supercars has laid a strong foundation to build upon.
“Returning for a second season with SCT Logistics and Brad Jones Racing brings a new level of excitement,” he said.
“In my rookie year, we’ve been quietly laying down a solid foundation—learning what makes the Gen3 Camaro tick and how the Supercars Championship operates.
“With a full season of experience under my belt I’m feeling more prepared and focused. We’ve taken valuable lessons from every race and as a team we’re building the momentum needed to move up the field.
“I genuinely believe we’re heading in the right direction and ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead.”
A standout performance for the Kiwi was at his home round at Taupo, where in his first wet race in a Supercar he came through from 17th on the grid to finish in 10th.
The tricky conditions caught out drivers who were vastly more experienced in a Supercar, but this showed his potential early in the season where he was able to nab his first top ten result.
Climbing through the order has been somewhat of a specialty from Evans who has made up a cumulative total of 58 positions in the last 22 races.
The quick Kiwi became part of the SCT Motorsport program at the start of 2024, taking over the full-time driving duties of the SCT Logistics Supercar after two years as a co-driver.
The category is one of the toughest and certainly most competitive in Touring Car racing and Evans has shown his adaptability throughout 2024.
‘When we began this journey with Jaxon it was clear that the goals for both he and SCT Motorsport were absolutely aligned from the outset, Jaxon’s continuation as the primary driver for our program in 2025 is an extension of the belief that both parties have in each other for achieving those goals,” said SCT Logistics Head of Motorsport Programs Andrew Jones.
“Supercars has proven time and time again to be the most competitive Touring Car category in the world and as such we are required to have the best people across all roles and I genuinely believe we have that within our team.
“In a sport that can be very brutal and not affording of time or loyalty, I would like to also acknowledge the support of Peter, Geoff and Glenn Smith in building the foundations for what Jaxon and the entire SCT Motorsport team will achieve in 2025.”
Evans, in the Brad Jones Racing run SCT Motorsport Camaro, will be in action at the final round of the Championship in Adelaide this coming weekend.
His first time on the streets of the South Australian capital is a formidable challenge but the 28-year-old is ready and revving to get the racing underway.
