How the Supercars silly season is playing out

A frantic Supercars silly season is continuing to unfold with more big names being linked to new homes for 2024.

Shane van Gisbergen's impending move to NASCAR has sparked a remarkable merry-go-round with multiple race-winning seats up for grabs.

Will Brown is now all but a lock to replace van Gisbergen at Triple Eight after Erebus announced that it has given Brown an early release on his contract.

That, however, has opened up a vacancy at Erebus, which has emerged as a force in the early stages of the Gen3 era.

A number of drivers have been linked to that seat, including two-time race winner Jack Le Brocq, who is out of contract at Matt Stone Racing.

Le Brocq was tied to Erebus in his junior career, racing for the team in Australian GT as part of its development academy. He made his main game Supercars debut with the team as an enduro driver in 2015 and was in the frame for the full-time seat that ended up going to Anton De Pasquale in 2018.

Erebus does also have form when it comes to promoting young drivers, having handed debuts to De Pasquale, Brown and Brodie Kostecki in recent years.

That ties in with speculation that Super2 race winner Cooper Murray is another driver in the frame for the vacant Erebus seat.
