Anderson Motorsport is a Supercars team currently competing in the Super 2 & Super 3 Series. The team was started by owner and team principal Michael Anderson to further his own racing career.
Super 2 Series
[edit]The team was set to debut in the 2020 Dunlop Super 2 Series at the second round at Symmons Plains. However, due to the industry shutdown as a consequence of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, They debuted with driver Tyler Everingham at the new second round at Sydney Motorsport Park.[1] Everingham would finish 5th and 11th respectively in the 2 races. The team would not enter the Bathurst round of the series with Everingham, due to this, he would finish 14th in the championship having only competed in one round.
Kumho Tyre Series
[edit]The teams racing debut was in the 2016 Kumho Tyres Australian V8 Touring Car Series with a BF Falcon for owner Michael Anderson, entered under the name of sponsor Kenwood Homes. Anderson had a solid debut season, taking 1 podium and finishing 7th overall in the championship. Anderson would have a breakout year in 2017,upgrading to a FG Falcon he would win 1 race, take 6 other podiums, as well as a pole position in the first race of the season at Phillip Island, he would finish 3rd in the championship.
