Targett gets Carrera Cup chance
Grove Racing junior Oscar Targett will be looking to continue making a name for himself by stepping up to Carrera Cup Australia.
Targett will take on the series with Earl Bamber Motorsport in a bright new livery.
The teenager comes in with plenty of confidence after winning the Porsche Sprint Challenge title in dominant style.
The Grove Junior Program member has karting experience in Europe but is hoping to carry on his trajectory from to eventually Supercars down the track.
Targett is looking forward to his next challenge.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from the Grove Junior Team and excited for the challenge of Carrera Cup Australia,” he said.
