First look at Toyota in race dress

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 it enters its 33rd Supercars season with the Team.

Optus has extended its partnership with the Team on a multi-year agreement as co-naming rights partner for car #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 #1 with its signature ‘Yes’ showcased on the roof.

Truck Assist also returns as co-naming rights partner for car #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 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, and famous Toyota logo front and rear, and the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia logo on both window banners.

Mostert and Wood will 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.

“The Mobil 1 Optus Racing Toyota GR Supra looks fantastic; the black satin with the teal makes the racing curves stand out. I’m excited for everyone to see it in person,” Mostert said.

“It obviously means a lot to the team to run the #1 and #2, there’s a heap of history there and I hope everyone is really proud to walk past it every day.

“It’s great to have Mobil 1 and Optus back on board supporting myself and the team for another incredible season. Growing up my favourite drivers were Mobil 1 ambassadors so it’s surreal to be one myself and with Optus, we have done some cool work together with their Optus Digital Thumbprint program which I look forward to continuing in the future.

“Ryan and I have an incredible opportunity this year, to be the first official Toyota Supercars  drivers in Australia for its entry into the Supercars Championship, we will be doing everything we can to make our mark on the sport.”

Wood, meanwhile, said getting back into a Toyota has a bit of a déjà vu feeling.

“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,” he said.

“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.”

Walkinshaw TWG Racing CEO Bruce Stewart believes the Toyota Supra will be a “game changer”.

“The trust and commitment placed in our team is something not lost on any of us,” he said.

“The entire Walkinshaw TWG Racing team has done an incredible job to get these cars to this point; every single department and staff member has played a critical role in making this a reality.

“It’s been one of the biggest off-seasons we’ve ever experienced, there’s been hardly a day off since Adelaide, but I couldn’t be prouder of the effort, commitment and level of delivery.

“It’s amazing to have the support of our extensive partner network, we wouldn’t be able to go racing without them.

“We’ve got two stunning GR Supra’s ready for round 1, the number 1 on Chaz’s car which is a real honour to see, and a group of people as hungry as ever. We know the challenge in front of us, but we are ready for it all.”
