Scott Taylor Motorsport confirms formidable Aussie line up for 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour

The team will field its proven Mercedes-AMG at the mountain, prepared by Ash Seward Motorsport, with two-time Bathurst 1000 champion Chaz Mostert joining STM’s regular 12 Hour pilots Cameron Waters and Thomas Randle.

STM’s announcement marks the first official entry into the 2026 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour.

“We are really excited to be the first entry for the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour,” said Taylor.

“I love this event. We have had some great results, and we’ve had some bad ones, and I’ve been organising this entry from the day we were traveling home from the race earlier this year. “We have a great line-up of drivers and we want to win our home soil 12 hour race, which has international focus. 

“Thomas (Randle), Cam (Waters) and Chaz Mostert are three of the best Australian drivers, in an Australian run car … and that’s what we're about. “We have plenty of experience in the race. We have the car to do it, we have the people and we are eager to get back to Bathurst in February, 2026 to have another crack at the title.”

It will be the third-straight year that Waters and Randle have driven for STM, scoring a best result of seventh place in 2024 and finishing just eight seconds behind the winning car that year.

“I’m really excited to be returning with STM again to have a crack at the Bathurst 12 Hour with Tom and Chaz next year,” said Waters.

“Having Chaz on board is going to be really cool. It’s a really good driver line-up and we know our car is very fast so I think we got a good shot. “Scotty is super passionate and wants to win the 12 hour. He throws absolutely everything at it and I think we've genuinely got a good shot at being at the front. 

“We're going to throw everything out and we'll see where we come out at the end.”

Added Randle: “I’m really excited to be back once again with STM in the #222 for the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour,”

“I’m very thankful for the opportunity over the last two years teaming up with STM and Ash Seward Motorsport and I’m really looking forward to heading back to the mountain for a third time.

“We had some great speed this year, and to be partnering with my mate Cam Waters once again is fantastic. To have Chaz Mostert onboard for the 2026 assault is really going to be something special … Another full Aussie line up for the 12 Hour in the outright Pro class is something everyone can get behind.” Mostert needs no introduction to the 12 Hour. He qualified on pole in 2018 driving a BMW, and finished fourth in a Ferrari earlier this year.

“I’ve been into the 12 Hour plenty of times and it's one that's always seemed to elude me, especially for the outright win,” said Mostert. 

“This opportunity to come up with Scotty Taylor and join with Cam and Tom … it's going to be really cool to have a full Supercars lineup.

“Scotty runs a really, really tight ship. Every program he ever gets behind looks world class and I'm really excited to mix it up and try something a little bit different than what I had the last couple of years and see if we can get that win.

“There's more international teams and superstar drivers come over for it, so I feel like this is one of my best opportunities to try and go there and win it with some great co-drivers and a fantastic team”

The 2026 event will be STM’s eighth crack at the once-around-the clock GT3 endurance race. The team’s highlight came in 2022 where Alex Davison, Craig Lowndes and team owner Scott Taylor claimed victory in Class C and 10th outright, driving a Porsche 991.

The 2026 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour will be held at Mount Panorama on February 13-15.
