Supercars veteran James Courtney is set for one last lap around the sun and will retire from full-time racing after the 2025 season. The 2010 Supercars champion announced his decision on Wednesday ahead of the Sydney SuperNight, confirming next year would be his final in the championship. He will then focus full-time on real estate, having just joined McGrath Gold Coast. “Real estate is actually my first real job now because racing has been my whole life up until now,” Courtney told 9news.

” Courtney, in his first year with Blanchard Racing, has battled to be up the front in recent years. The 42-year-old last came out on top in 2016, but recently qualified third in Townsville last time out. “I’ll finish this year and do next year then that’ll be it for me full-time,” Courtney said “I’ve had a hugely successful career, had a great time doing it all and I want to end it on my terms.” Courtney’s retirement plans will bring an end to a 20-year career.
