JAYDEN Ojeda and Andrew Gilliam are the up-and-coming duo hoping to become Supercars’ next prolific driver/engineer combination. There have been plenty of memorable working relationships over the years in Supercars, from Jamie Whincup/David Cauchi and Scott McLaughlin/Ludo Lacroix to Chaz Mostert/Adam DeBorre and David Reynolds/Alistair McVean. Current combos with more than three years together include Broc Feeney/Martin Short, Matt Payne/Jack Bell, Cam Waters/Sam Potter and Brodie Kostecki/George Commins – and those four just so happen to represent the top quartet in the 2026 championship standings. Ojeda and Gilliam got a headstart on their PremiAir partnership late last year and have become inseparable since, extending to GT World Challenge Australia as well as the sim racing arena where Gilliam himself is renowned for his prowess behind the wheel. He in fact represented Tickford Racing in the televised 2020 Supercars Eseries back in COVID times. “I love working with Gilly,” Ojeda told V8 Sleuth. “He’s a great guy and we get along really well. “Obviously he is a well-credentialed sim driver himself, so it’s good to share that relationship – he understands it like a driver, which is awesome, but then he is also one of the smartest people I’ve met. “So to have that power in your corner is awesome. “We’re both young and still learning so much, so we just keep chipping away at it.” It creates an interesting dynamic where beyond their efforts to take the #31 Camaro to the front, they often get stuck into competition against one another in the virtual world. “I’m probably more experienced on another platform but when it comes to iRacing he is incredibly good. He smokes me on iRacing each time,” Ojeda laughed. Gilliam isn’t the only race engineer with driving expertise in the PremiAir camp; on the #777 side, Declan Fraser
