Nick Percat’s two-year run with the Walkinshaw Andretti United Supercars team will come to an end following the 2023 season.

The team today announced the Team and Nick Percat will part ways at the end of the 2023 Supercars Championship, following the final round at the 2023 Adelaide 500.

Percat rejoined the Team for the 2022 season, highlighted by the 1-2 finish at the 2022 Adelaide 500, a race that will forever live in the Teams’ history.

Both parties are fully committed to finishing the 2023 Championship in the strongest possible manner, with four rounds remaining.

The entire team want to thank Nick for his dedication, hard work and commitment over the past two seasons, with more to come in 2023.

“My time with the WAU family has come to an end and I wish we could have had the results we both wanted and expected. I have loved my time working alongside Chaz and it’s cool to say we will be lifelong friends. To the team, thank you for the tireless effort and hours spent trying to unlock the speed from Car No. 2, Adelaide 500 is something I’ll never forget. To the WAU fans, you have been truly amazing, the open arms you had for me rejoining was special and the endless support has been the best. Looking forward to finishing the year with a bang.”

“We want to thank Nick for being a big part of our team for the past two seasons, but also his entire time with us over the journey. Of course, we both hoped to achieve more together, but with four rounds remaining this year, including the Bathurst 1000, Sandown 500 and Adelaide 500, we are all pushing to finish on a high. Everyone here wishes him all the best for the future.”

“We’d all like to wish Nick the best for his future. He’s been an important part of our team and family for the past two seasons. We’ve got a job to do for the remainder of the year together, and we all want to send the season off the right way.”

“It’s been great to have Nick a part of the WAU family for the last two seasons. The Adelaide 500 1-2 finish was an incredible moment in the Team’s history and something we won’t forget. We’ve got some big races to finish the year, and we look forward to doing everything we can to get the best results possible.”
