History

Top Fuel

PremiAir Racing has competed in ANDRA Top Fuel events since 2014.[4]

Supercars

In January 2022, PremiAir Racing bought Tekno Autosports' Supercars Championship team, six weeks prior to the 2022 Supercars Championship's scheduled commencement date at Sydney Motorsport Park.[5] Tekno, branded as Team Sydney since 2020, had competed in the series since 2011 as an independent team.[6] On the 21st of June 2022, PremiAir Racing terminated the contract of Garry Jacobson effective immediately after the Darwin Triple Crown.[7] On July 5, it was announced that James Golding would replace Jacobson for the remainder of the season. [8]

On October 14, PremiAir confirmed the departure of Chris Pither at the end of the 2022 season. [9] A week later PremiAir revealed that Tim Slade would be signing on to the team for the 2023 season, replacing Chris Pither. [10] Later, PremiAir confirmed that James Golding would continue with the team for the 2023 season. [11]
