# Blanchard Racing Team

Blanchard Racing Team is an Australian motor racing team, currently competing in the Supercars Championship under the commercial title CoolDrive Auto Parts. It fields the Blanchard Racing-built No. 3 Ford Mustang GT, driven by Aaron Cameron, and the No. 7 entry, driven by James Courtney.

## History
### Customer Team

Tim Blanchard Racing was formed at the end of the 2016 season when Tim Blanchard purchased a Racing Entitlements Contract (REC) from Super Black Racing with the aim of continuing in the Supercars Championship, after the Britek Motorsport REC that had underpinned Blanchard's entry was taken by owner Jason Bright to Prodrive Racing Australia. Brad Jones Racing maintained the running of the entry. In 2018, the team upgraded to the Holden ZB Commodore.
After Blanchard retired from full time driving at the end of 2018, Macauley Jones took over the driving. For 2020, the team's race number was changed from No. 21 to No. 3.

### Stand Alone Team

In 2021, after four seasons running as a satellite team of Brad Jones Racing, the team was renamed to Blanchard Racing Team and switched to a ex-23Red Racing Tickford-built Ford Mustang. Macauley Jones was replaced by Tim Slade.
In 2022 Tim Slade and Tim Blanchard competed as the only single car team in the Supercars Championship finishing their 2nd full-time season finishing the championship in 11th position.
2023 saw the beginning of the new GEN3 rule and the Blanchard Racing Team entered their third year of full-time Supercars racing and were the first team to complete the build of the GEN3 regulation car. Todd Hazelwood was signed as the primary driver of the CoolDrive Racing Ford Mustang and co-driver was Tim Blanchard. 2023 Also saw BRT introduce a Super2 Category entry driven by Aaron Love.
In 2024 BRT expand to a two-car team with a combination of James Courtney will lead the driver line-up in car number 7. Aaron Love will step up from Super2 and drive the second of the BRT Gen3 Ford Mustangs in car number 3.
