Morris are pleased to announce the continuation of our partnership with WAU’s Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia GR Cup entry, driven by Matt Hillyer.
This ongoing partnership underscores Morris' dedication to nuturing young talent and creating opportunities for the next generation of Australasian motorsport, from drivers to mechanics, engineering staff and commerical staff.
In 2023, Matt Hillyer showcased his talent in the TGRA 86 Series, driving the Morris No.2 car to three victories in the scholarship series, along with a podium finish and a pole position.
In the upcoming season Hillyer will once again take to the track in the Morris No.2 car, participating in a five-round series alongside the SuperCars Championship. The action kicks off at the NTI Townsville 500 from July 7th to July 9th.
