After announcing his split from Tickford Racing earlier this month, Jack Le Brocq has revealed he will partner Todd Hazelwood at Matt Stone Racing.
In a multi-year deal, Le Brocq joins MSR after spending two seasons at Tickford Racing where he took one victory at Sydney Motorsport Park II.
Le Brocq is hopeful the team can continue its progression.
“MSR are racers, pure and simple.” said Le Brocq.
“The team has made great progress toward the front of the field over the past couple of seasons, so I am very pleased to now have the opportunity to join them and contribute to that progression.
“With the team’s capabilities and its competitive machinery across all levels of Supercars, I see no reason why we won’t be regulars in the top 10 and aiming for podiums and better.
“I have learned a lot these past two seasons, so I am looking forward to putting that into practice.
“After two COVID interrupted seasons, I am also looking forward to getting some stability back into our racing.”
Team owner Matt Stone is excited to welcome Le Brocq as the team enters the 2022 season with an experienced driver line-up for the first time.
“We are really pleased to have Jack joining MSR for the next few years,” said Stone.
“For us Jack was the perfect choice. We know how good he is from the many battles we’ve had with him in the past and look forward to him contributing to our push to move up the grid.
“Jack beat the likes of Anton DePasquale and Matt Campbell when he won the Australian Formula Ford Championship, and he was a fierce competitor against us with Todd in Super2.
“We know his best is yet to come in Supercars.”
Stone highlighted the impact an experienced driver line-up will be beneficial during the implementation of Gen3 in 2023.
“It will be good to add a bit of experience into our line-up,” emphasised Stone.
“Matt Stone Racing is traditionally focused on rookies, and it will be good to have guys in the seats with a few years under their belt to take it to the next level in their careers.
“I’m sure they are both very hungry to make some solid steps forward and so is the team.
“We are looking forward to more stability over the next few years with both drivers on multiyear deals so that we can focus on the roll into Gen3 and capitalising on the new regulations.”
