Glen Wood has announced he will compete in all Porsche Equity-One Carrera Cup Australia rounds in 2026, confirming Famous Insurance Brokers will step up as naming-rights partner of the #911 entry.

The partnership uplift with Famous Insurance represents a big step forward for the specialist vehicle insurer, seeing its strategic partnership with Wood growing from strength-to-strength after joining Wood as a minor partner in 2025.

Wood’s third successive season in Porsche Carrera Cup Australia will see Earl Bamber Motorsport once again prepare his car.

The entry’s striking new livery made a spectacular public debut at Porsche Centre Melbourne on Monday 2 March, pulling the wraps off a mostly-white composition featuring prominent Famous Insurance branding.

Continuity is a key pillar of Wood’s 2026 assault, retaining the same team and engineer combination that underpinned his late-2025 performance surge.

“I’m incredibly excited to strengthen my partnership with Famous Insurance as well as retain Earl Bamber Motorsport [EBM] for 2026.” Wood said.

“EBM and myself made significant gains together last year, we’ve built a clear direction and feel we have pace and momentum to carry into this season.

“It’s really rewarding to put the program together for this year. I wouldn’t be here racing in Porsche Carrera Cup Australia without the help of my corporate partners, so to lock in the whole season is a big tick.

“As we say farewell to Embrey, that deal was always going to be for one-season. In Embrey’s place, the team at Famous Insurance Brokers really got behind me and were keen to expand their involvement, which is hugely exciting.

“They live and breathe automotive and genuinely love Carrera Cup, so to have them as part of the program makes me very proud.”

During the off-season, Wood gained valuable track time by supporting David Crampton’s KTM GT2 entry at the Bathurst 12 Hour.

While the campaign ended abruptly, Wood believes the experience will prove valuable — particularly with ABS regulations introduced into Carrera Cup machinery for 2026.

“All seat time is beneficial,” Wood said.

“With the introduction of ABS in Carrera Cup Australia this year, the recent experience in a GT car definitely helps with preparation.”

Wood will open his 2026 campaign at Albert Park Circuit as part of the Australian Grand Prix support program, facing a 30-car field at the season opener.

“The goal is to keep fighting for top-five finishes and podiums,” he added.

“With 30 cars on the grid for the opening round, it won’t be easy — but that’s the strength of Carrera Cup in Australia. The depth of competition is what makes it so rewarding.”

Managing Director of BJS Insurance Group, Belinda Scott, reaffirmed the strategic partnership, saying: “Working with Glen has been wonderful. His group of partners shares the same philosophy and ethos as we do, and he runs a strong commercial product. The expansion of our relationship is a natural fit, and we’re excited about the year ahead.”
