Touring Car Masters Revs Up for 2026 with Iconic Australian Partners Bushranger and Victa
Touring Car Masters Revs Up for 2026 with Iconic Australian Partners Bushranger and Victa
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – The Touring Car Masters (TCM) series is thrilled to announce a powerhouse partnership for the 2026 season, welcoming two of Australia’s most storied names in power equipment—Bushranger Power Equipment and Victa Lawncare — to the grid.
The partnership officially launches at the season opener at Sydney Motorsport Park, February 20–22, marking a significant new chapter for the category as it reaffirms its position as Australia’s favourite support series.
The People’s Choice Returns to Supercars
After several years of racing independently, TCM made a triumphant return to the Supercars support bill last year. In 2026, that relationship strengthens further, with TCM set to feature at five of its six rounds alongside the Repco Supercars Championship.
The category’s popularity was recently validated by the fans themselves; in a recent Speedcafe poll asking readers which national category they were most looking forward to, TCM won “hands down.” The series secured nearly twice as many votes as the second- placed category in a field of over 20 competing series, proving that the roar of classic muscle cars remains the heartbeat of Australian motorsport.
Bringing an Icon Home
The addition of Victa to the series carries a special significance for the Australian industry. After years of American ownership, Victa has officially “come home.” The iconic brand was recently acquired by RGS (Roy Gripske & Sons Pty Ltd), the parent company of Bushranger, returning the brand to 100% Australian ownership.
Founded in 1952, Victa rose to become the nation’s dominant brand throughout the 1960s and 70s — the exact era that produced the legendary muscle cars that now compete in TCM. In a perfect bit of synergy, one of Victa’s most iconic models even shares a name with one of the most famous cars on the grid: the Victa Mustang mower has been powering through Aussie yards for decades.
“Motorsport has been part of our DNA for almost a decade, and it’s incredibly exciting to extend that commitment by bringing Victa into Australian racing alongside Bushranger,”
Paul Sheehan, CEO and Director of RGS
“With a presence across Touring Car Masters, GT4 and Supercars, this partnership reflects our long-term investment in one of Australia’s most iconic and passionate sporting arenas.”
A Multi-Category Presence
The partnership extends beyond the TCM paddock, creating a “Mustang-heavy” marketing blitz across multiple tiers of racing:
- Supercars Championship: 2024 Super2 standout Aaron Cameron will carry both Victa and Bushranger branding on his Blanchard Racing Team (BRT) Mustang.
- Australian GT4 Series: The theme continues with the two brands appearing on the Multispares Racing Mustang.
- TCM Series Branding: Fans won’t be able to miss the new partners on track. The Victa brand will be prominently displayed on the front number plate position, while Bushranger will take pride of place on the bonnet of every car in the TCM field.
How to Watch
Fans across the country can catch every heart-stopping moment of the 2026 TCM season. All rounds held with Supercars will be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo, ensuring the sights and sounds of TCM reach living rooms nationwide.
