Erebus Motorsport has confirmed its engineering line-up for the 2026 Supercars season, reinforcing its belief in developing people, building depth, and operating as a united engineering group.

Daniel Frencham will join Erebus Motorsport to engineer the #9 car of Jobe Stewart. Frencham arrives from Garry Rogers Motorsport, where he has been working across the Trans Am program while Wayne Mackie will continue to engineer Cooper Murray in the #99 car while also overseeing the engineering team.

Aidan Graham will continue as Data Engineer after stepping up to Race Engineer the #9 car for Sandown and Adelaide at the close of the 2025 season.

Erebus Motorsport CEO Barry Ryan said the structure reflected the team’s philosophy of collective performance and long-term development.

“The key is having an engineering group that’s focused on team results first,” Ryan said. “Yes, race engineers are allocated to cars, but success comes from the whole group working together and pushing in the same direction.

“Daniel came recommended by Barry Rogers, and that matters. Just as importantly, we’re committed to backing our own people. Aidan’s rounds at the end of 2025 engineering the #9 car have set him up extremely well, and he’s now in a position to contribute strongly to the group. Creating pathways and supporting that progression is a big part of how we operate.”

Stewart said the team’s approach suited him as he heads into his rookie season.

“I like that Erebus doesn’t do things the obvious way,” Stewart said. “Daniel’s come from a strong program and a great team. He’s been great to work with already and for me as a rookie, having that level of support and trust around you makes a big difference.”

Murray said continuity and belief within the engineering group remained a key strength.

“Wayne’s been a big part of my development from the early days as he has been with Jobe,” Murray said. “Erebus gives people opportunities, backs them, and expects you to grow. It’s why this team works, and why it’s had the success it has. Hopefully we can keep building on that in 2026.”
