The New Zealander was impressive as a debutant in the Prodrive-run Super Black Racing entry last season, and has now been called up to partner Waters in one of the main PRA Fords at Sandown, Bathurst, and on the Gold Coast.

“It’s great to be back in for the Supercars endurance season this year; especially with a brand that’s as powerful as Monster Energy,” said Stanaway.

“Cam finished a strong P4 at Bathurst last year and drove a great race, so the plan is to go better this year and stand on the podium at The Mountain.

“Supercars are an amazing piece of machinery and I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel with one of the up and coming stars of the sport.”

Stanaway will replace Nissan-bound Jack Le Brocq alongside Waters.

“I’m confident in Richie's and my ability to perform,” said Waters.

“He is a remarkable driver and has achieved so much already on the international racing scene despite only being in his mid 20s.

“Richie drove great last year as a co-driver and already has the experience of the Prodrive Racing built Supercar under his belt, which is a massive bonus for our chances.

“In 2016 the #6 Monster Energy Ford was able to achieve some really good results too, so I’m excited to see what we can do together this year.”

As well as confirming Stanaway’s signing, the PRA crew also pulled the covers off the new Monster livery that Waters’s car will carry for the 2017 Supercars season.
