Erebus Motorsport launched its 2025 Supercars season, with Tyrepower returning as Jack Le Brocq’s major season sponsor, whilst rookie Cooper Murray will sport an altered version of the Bathurst winning CHIKO branding.
The 2024 Bathurst 1000 winning squad and 2023 champions enter the new season with a renewed fervour to keep the trophies rolling, with rookie sensation Cooper Murray carrying over the CHIKO livery that took the mountain in the #99 Chevrolet Camaro.

And as for the more senior stay in the team, Le Brocq enters his second season with the Melbourne based team with the renewed backing of Tyrepower, but a fresh and bold new look on his #9 Camaro.
“The new Tyrepower livery looks awesome, it’s bold, modern, and fast,” Jack commented.
“It’s fantastic to have their continued support and have them on board for the full season, and I can’t wait to get back out there and see what we can do.”

Erebus Motorsport CEO Barry Ryan also shared his enthusiasm for the renewed partnership of the #9 and Tyrepower.
“Tyrepower was a fantastic partner to our team in 2024, and we’re excited to continue the journey together in 2025,” Ryan said.
“Their commitment to the team has been unwavering, and this fresh new livery is a great reflection of the trust they have in us to push the partnership even further this year.”
On the #99 side of the garage, the iconic CHIKO brand returns with a brand-new livery following its fairytale return to motorsport with Erebus last year.
Rookie Cooper Murray will take over the Bathurst winning CHIKO livery for the 2025 Supercars season.
The look is a take on a livery originally designed as an alternative option for the 2024 Bathurst-winning car, with Cooper himself joining forces with Erebus Commercial Manager Carly Hammersley to tweak the design for 2025.
“I had a great time working on the CHIKO livery with Carly,” the Rookie said.
“Fans fell in love with last year’s car, so we wanted to retain that feel but add a fresh, fun twist for 2025. It’s bold, it’s eye-catching, and I can’t wait to race it under the lights at SMP!”

With the #99 also having a revolving sponsorship model, Ryan said that it also offers opportunities for those wanting to be involved as the season progresses.
“We understand that many brands want the impact of a primary partnership but may not have the budget to make it happen in the current climate,”Ryan continued.
“That’s why we’ve developed a flexible model for that car that allows brands to enjoy all the benefits of a primary partnership—at a significantly reduced spend—while still securing a spot on the car throughout the entire season.
“It’s a unique opportunity that offers fantastic exposure, and we’re confident Cooper’s going to make a big impact this season.”

'description' => 'The Supercars Championship, currently known as the Repco Supercars Championship, is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia\'s biggest sports. It originated from the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC), which held its first race in 1960 at Gnoo-Blas in Orange, New South Wales. The ATCC evolved over the years, and in 1997, it was rebranded as the V8 Supercars Championship, eventually becoming the Supercars Championship we know today.
Some of the leading drivers in the history of the Supercars Championship include Peter Brock, who is often referred to as the "King of the Mountain" for his nine victories at the Bathurst 1000, a race that is considered one of the biggest in the series. Other notable drivers include Dick Johnson, Marcos Ambrose, Craig Lowndes, Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup, who holds the record for the most championship titles, and Mark Skaife, who has also been a dominant force in the series.
The Bathurst 1000, held at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, is arguably the most famous race in the Supercars calendar. Other significant races include the Sandown 500 and the Adelaide 500, which are known for their challenging circuits and thrilling competitions.
The Supercars Championship has grown to become a globally recognized series, known for its competitive racing and passionate fan base. It continues to be a major part of Australia\'s motorsport culture, attracting top drivers and teams from around the world.',
