Brad Jones Racing and SCT Motorsport have announced Porsche works driver, Jaxon Evans, will co-drive alongside Jack Smith for the upcoming Repco Bathurst 1000. The announcement comes after
Evans undertook an evaluation day in Smith’s SCT Logistics Racing Commodore at Winton this week and slotted into the car and team seamlessly.
The 2018 Carrera Cup Australia Champion is currently contesting selected races of the NLS Nürburgring Endurance Series in the Porsche GT3R and was in the winning car of the 12-hour last weekend.
“I arrived back in Australia just last week and to be in the SCT Logistics car today turning laps at Winton has been amazing,” Evans said. “Endurance racing isn’t new to me, and neither is Bathurst but heading there in a Supercar is definitely going to be a pinch me moment.
“The car felt very comfortable from the outset and the team has been so enthusiastic and welcoming, I’m feeling really confident about heading to Bathurst alongside Jack and the whole BJR and SCT Motorsport team.”
It won’t be the first time the duo has raced side by side, with their connection dating back to their days cutting their teeth in karts where they both drove for the Birel Kart Team.
