No doubt coming into this year, Beau would have set a high bar with his expectations for the season, but to enter the 10th Round of the Championship this week in position 20 is far from where he would have expected to be. There's been no shortage of speed from the #06 Mustang, and regularly across the championship, he has looked the most potent of the ERT stable.

We had the chance to sit down with Beau and discuss the year that's been and get his thoughts about where he sits at this point of the season:

R: You've had a rollercoaster of a year, with everything that's happened early in the season. With that in mind, are you happy to be where you are in the standings with 3 rounds remaining?

BA: All things considered , I'll definitely take where I am currently. I came into this season pretty set on chasing a Top 10 in the points, and thoroughly believe I could have achieved that, however fate (and my motherboard) had other ideas! A big PC failure meant after four rounds, I had a single Top 15 from Sebring, and then 2x Did Not Starts and a P32 on a borrowed Sim rig. Not exactly what I had in mind going into the season, and seeing how well Robbie especially was running sorta twisted the knife a little for me. So to already be back in the twenty in my mind is a fantastic recovery drive that I can be proud of, even if it's not what I'd hoped for the season. My pace has been really strong overall, and execution has been much, much better than last year for me... if you ignore Road Atlanta! So all in all, I'm positive about my season.

R: With only 3 races left, what are your goals before the end of the season?

BA: Sandown and Bathurst in particular I'm super keen for, alongside Rayner, I think it's the strongest Enduro lineup I've been a part of in a Supercar! We've got mega pace between us and despite getting stuffed by the Phillip Island Safety car and the risky strategy we took, I'm sure we were comfortably on for a Top 10. I'm unsure what my future with ERT looks like going into 2026, so I'm just going to try and maximize every race and hopefully give back to the team that's given me so much. I expect the final round to be at The Bend, which I'm a big fan of, so that'll hopefully let me finish on a high note this year.

R: Your speed at times this year has been impressive and probably the best of all the ERT drivers. How has the team found the new challenge of Gen 3 Supercars this season?

BA: The team and I have loved it! A lot of people have been a little critical of the car but I'm really enjoying it! The setup is a tricky one to develop as you can make wholesale changes to this car and not get anywhere, but there is still a secret sauce to it that we're all chasing. The gap to Jarrad and co obviously isn't all in the set-up, they're the class of the field for a reason, but I think we still have room to develop our equipment to help close the gap. From a driving perspective, this car is leaps and bounds better than the old car for me though.

R: How important is it for you to maintain your top 20 position and lock back into the grid for 2026?

BA: It's super important honestly. I love this series and how competitive it is, so being on the grid is my primary goal. If I do manage to execute in these last three races, it's a big advantage to start 2026 fresh, and not burnt out from the brutality of that qualifying series! But regardless of how things go, you better believe I'll be giving it my all to be on the grid for Sebring next year!

Thanks to Beau for giving us a few minutes of his time to chat about the year so far. The next race of the season is at Sandown this Friday Night for the second round of the 2025 Trueforce Enduro Cup and Beau will be back alongside Rayner Costello in a special tribute livery which you can see below. Tune in friday from 7pm AEDT at Simspeed TV to catch all the action!
