TWO LEGENDS ALIGN – TFH RACING ACQUIRE LEGEND CARS AUSTRALIA

TFH Hire Services Australia has built a formidable portfolio in Australian Motorsport.

TFH Racing competed with distinction in the 2024 Trico Trans AM championship, TFH Hire Services TA2 Series framed by Hytek, Aussie Racing Cars, Formula RX8 and Toyota 86 Series.

In addition, TFH Hire Services category and individual sponsorship across Australian motorsport have been massive.

2024 Championship victories in the Trico Trans-Am Series and the inaugural TFH Hire Services Formula RX8 series were eclipsed by TFH Hire Services drivers, Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood’s victory at the 2024 Repco Bathurst 1000.

In 2025 that level of commitment has grown with the acquisition of Legend Cars Australia.

Synonymous with close racing and camaraderie, the category is a stalwart on the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series calendar, a point new owner Brett Thomas is determined to continue.

“I’m incredibly excited to announce the purchase of Legend Cars Australia and to be part of the future of this amazing category!” Thomas exclaimed.

“Legend Cars have always delivered some of the most exciting and competitive racing in the country, and I’m looking forward to building on that momentum.”

“We have big plans to grow the category, making it more accessible for drivers at all levels while ensuring the racing remains as thrilling as ever. I’m also very happy to be working alongside the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series, which provides an incredible platform for categories like Legend Cars to thrive. Their commitment to motorsport aligns perfectly with our vision, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together.”

“Legend Cars have been in Australia for over two decades but have never been as strong in terms of numbers as they are now.”

Originally imported and run mainly at speedway circuits around Australia, John Dennehy, introduced Legend Cars to asphalt racing locally in around 2016. Since then, it has grown to be one of Australia’s largest competitor categories under the guidance of both John and Tony Ward. A fact gracefully acknowledged by Brett Thomas.

“I want to extend a huge congratulations and thanks to Tony Ward and John Dennehy for their efforts in building Legend Cars Australia into what it is today,” Thomas said.

“Their dedication to the category has been instrumental in its success. I’m also pleased that Tony Ward will remain involved as a shareholder and as Category Manager for Asphalt during the transition period and beyond, helping to grow the category even further. His experience and passion for the sport will be invaluable as we take Legend Cars Australia to the next level” in both Circuit Racing and Speedway.

Further assistance in progressing the Legend Car category will come from newly appointed General Manager, Darren Allan.

“We both are eager to see the future of the category unfold and to work with the teams, drivers, and fans to make it bigger and better than ever,” say Brett and Darren.

Expectations and category interest has soared with the new 2025 TFH Hire Services Legend Cars Australia series set to debut at Winton for the opening round of the 2025 Hi-Tec Oils Super Series from 28th February to 2nd March 2025.
