Walkinshaw TWG Racing has today unveiled its challengers for the 2026 Supercars Championship, marking a significant milestone for both the team and the category.
Today, the covers have come off both the Mobil 1™ Optus Racing No. 1 Toyota GR Supra and the Mobil 1™ Truck Assist Racing No. 2 Toyota GR Supra, to be piloted by Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood, respectively.
Mobil 1 continues its iconic presence on the bonnet of both entries with the return of the red Pegasus, extending Walkinshaw TWG Racing’s longest-standing partnership as they enter their 33rd Supercars season with the Team.
Optus has extended its partnership with the Team on a multi-year agreement as CoNaming Rights Partner for Car No. 1 on a multi-year deal, entering a fifth consecutive season alongside Mostert. Optus’ distinctive teal features prominently throughout the livery, with the Optus logo visible on the side of Car No. 1, with their signature Yes showcased on the roof.
Truck Assist also returns as Co-Naming Rights Partner for Car No. 2, following the team’s earlier announcement confirming the continuation of the partnership.
The brand’s signature orange is integrated throughout the livery, with Truck Assist branding displayed on the doors and roof. Walkinshaw TWG Racing’s Toyota Australia era kicks up a gear as well, with two cars ready for the season ahead.
Visible on the rear three-quarters of both entries is the iconic red and white GR branding, the famous Toyota logo front and rear, and the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Australia logo on both window banners. The striking liveries for both entries were brought to life by PPG, Signzone and Spicers.

Mostert and Wood get behind the wheel of the Mobil 1 Optus Racing Toyota GR Supra and the Mobil 1 Truck Assist Racing Toyota GR Supra on Wednesday, February 18th, at Sydney Motorsport Park for the first test day of the 2026 Supercars Season.
“I started my circuit racing career in the New Zealand Toyota 86 Series, so it’s a full circle moment for me driving a Toyota GR Supra Supercar this year,” said Ryan Wood
“I’m so proud to be representing Mobil 1 Truck Assist Racing for my third year in the Supercars Championship. They have been my number one supporters since joining the category, and I want to do them, and all of our partners, proud this season.
“The team have worked so hard over what we call the off-season, but it definitely wasn’t an off-season for them. I couldn’t ask for a better bunch of guys and girls in this team.
“Being only 22 years old and helping lead a factory team for Toyota is super exciting; it’s going to be a massive year, and I’m excited to get to work.”
