Australian Supercars star Broc Feeney will join rival Will Brown on the grid of Formula Regional Oceania’s New Zealand Grand Prix.
The race is the very last of the season at Highlands Motorsport Park on February 9, and could be where the title is decided. Feeney will drive for MTEC Motorsport, taking the place of Josh Pierson who has a clashing Indy Nxt test.
Brown and Feeney have been team-mates at the Red Bull-backed Triple Eight team in Supercars since the start of 2024, and Brown went on to win last year’s title while Feeney won six races and was championship runner-up.
“I’m pumped to be coming over for the New Zealand GP at Highlands,” Feeney said of his upcoming single-seater debut. “It will be my first ever race in an open-wheeler and I am super excited to challenge myself.”
The 22-year-old Australian joined Triple Eight in Supercars for the final race of 2021, and following that came sixth in the 2022 standings and third the year after. In his first two seasons he won six races. He was also 2024 Bathurst 1000 runner-up, and third in the 2022 Bathurst 12 Hours in a car shared with Shane van Gisbergen.
Before making it to Supercars, Feeney was 2019 Super3 champion and 2021 Super2 champion.
Brown and Feeney are following the path of former Supercars stars Scott McLaughlin and van Gisbergen by making high-profile single-seater outings. McLaughlin now races in IndyCar, and van Gisbergen entered the 2021 New Zealand GP during FRegional Oceania’s previous state as the Toyota Racing Series and won all three races in his outing including the grand prix.
Brown has already done the first two rounds of the 2025 FRegional Oceania season with Giles Motorsport, taking a podium finish from each event.
