Jack La Brocq moving to Erebus motorsport for 2024
Jack Le Brocq Returns to Erebus Motorsport for 2024 Supercars Season
In a significant announcement for the Supercars community, Jack Le Brocq is set to make a comeback to Erebus Motorsport for the 2024 season. This move follows the departure of Triple Eight-bound Will Brown and marks a reunion between Le Brocq and the Betty Klimenko-owned team.
Le Brocq's return to Erebus Motorsport was confirmed shortly after his departure from Matt Stone Racing was announced. The 31-year-old driver has already showcased his talents during the Gen3 era, currently holding eighth place in the championship standings. Le Brocq's impressive track record includes securing both pole position and victory for Matt Stone Racing, achieved in Darwin.
The decision to sign with Erebus Motorsport holds sentimental value for Le Brocq, as he previously had ties with the team. His motorsport journey began as an Erebus Academy driver, participating in the Australian GT program. Le Brocq then extended his association with Erebus by racing alongside their affiliate, Image Racing, in the Super2 category back in 2014. Notably, the 2012 Formula Ford champion made his Supercars debut during the 2015 enduros while driving an Erebus AMG Supercar.
Moreover, Le Brocq shares a longstanding relationship with Erebus Motorsport CEO Barry Ryan, which transcends his time with the team. This connection adds a deeper layer of familiarity and synergy between the driver and the team.
Le Brocq's arrival at Erebus Motorsport comes as he steps into the shoes of Will Brown, who is set to join Red Bull Ampol Racing on a three-year deal. Brown's impressive performance has placed him second in the championship, trailing behind his teammate Brodie Kostecki.
While the exact length of Le Brocq's contract with Erebus Motorsport has yet to be disclosed, his return to the team reflects a mutual excitement. Team CEO Barry Ryan expressed his enthusiasm, acknowledging Le Brocq's journey and achievements. Le Brocq himself conveyed his eagerness to contribute to Erebus Motorsport's continued success in the 2024 season. However, he remains committed to giving his all during the ongoing 2023 season with his current team.
As the Supercars community anticipates the upcoming season, Le Brocq's return to Erebus Motorsport adds a compelling narrative to the ever-evolving landscape of Australian motorsport.
