Erebus confirm sponsor and co driver deals - Auto Action

Having jumped on board on the eve of the season-opening Bathurst 500, TFH Hire Services carried on as a primary partner of Erebus at the following Melbourne SuperSprint and Taupo Super400 events.

But it will now confirmed the yellow, red and black colours will remain on the reigning champions' cars for the remaining nine rounds of the 2024 Supercars season.

TFH Hire Services support goes beyond Supercars, supporting both Kostecki and Hazelwood at the next Trans Am round in Tailem Bend.

Erebus Motorsport CEO Barry Ryan was delighted by the news.

"We were thrilled to welcome TFH and the whole TFH Racing team as part of the Erebus family when they jumped on board ahead of Bathurst and their support this year has been invaluable," Erebus CEO Barry Ryan said.

"Brett (Thomas) and the entire team at TFH are doing so much across many levels of motorsport in this country right now and the level of support TFH Racing is giving to grassroots categories is phenomenal.

"We recognised from the beginning that their primary focus is in grassroots racing. To have the chance to amplify their brand among Supercars fans and witness the growth and everything they are achieving has been remarkable."

As expected it is also confirmed Kostecki and Hazelwood will race the #1 together at Sandown and Bathurst.

David Russell has been Kostecki's partner throughout the latter's full-time career but has left to PremiAir Racing in 2024.

Hazelwood stepped up to drive the #99 in the reigning champion's absence from the first two rounds and now the pair will race together come the enduros.

"It's cool to see the association with TFH and Erebus Motorsport continue to grow and develop and we're all excited for what the future holds," Hazelwood said.
