Will Brown 2026 Queensland Raceway Victory - Burn Out Tyre Piece

New Restrictor Victory

For 25 races, Will Brown had been fighting with one hand tied behind his back. In August, it was found that Car #888 had been running all season with an undersized engine airflow restrictor. The deficit was worth around 0.15 seconds a lap, enough to explain why the 2024 champion had been stuck in the midfield while chasing answers.

Brown arrived at Queensland Raceway with a new chassis and, for the first time all year, an engine on equal terms with the rest of the field. In Saturday’s second race, he made it count. When back-to-back safety cars bunched the field, Brown pounced on the restart, took the lead and then held off a determined Brodie Kostecki in an elbows-out battle to the flag.

Months of frustration came out in one big cloud of tyre smoke. “I’m definitely doing one,” Will said over the radio, and he didn’t wait for anyone’s permission. He lit up the rears in a massive, smoke-filled celebration on the circuit, and the tyres from that burnout are where this piece comes from.

It was his first win of 2026, and his first since winning at the same circuit 12 months earlier. “Give us the same equipment and see what happens!” Brown said after the race. “Right now, it really feels bigger than the championship.” That win sparked a run of form that carried him into the Finals as one of the drivers to beat.

The Piece

Authentic.  Limited.  Yours.  ONLY 8 IN THE SERIES.

This is a piece of the rubber from Will Brown’s burnout tyres, used during celebrations at the Queensland Raceway round of the 2026 Supercars Championship, where he claimed his first win of the season after the restrictor issue was resolved.

Studio photography shows an example of one of the 8 items available for purchase.  Additional on-track and season imagery is included to provide context and illustrate the provenance and racing history of the piece. 

As an authentic, race-used component, this piece may display marks, wear, damage or other imperfections consistent with its use in competition. These characteristics form part of its history and provenance.

The Display

The tyre piece sits inside a Red Bull Ampol Racing gift box.  It has a small magnet attached to the back making it removable so you can really touch, feel and get up close to the piece.  The box is autographed by Will.

Image is indicative. As an authentic race-used item, every piece is individual, with its own markings and texture. Yours is not a replica of the photo, it is a one-off piece of history.
