Super Black Racing is unlikely to be on the Supercars grid in 2017. The most likely seats available are the second car at Garry Rodgers Motorsport or a drive with Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport. Super Black Racing first competed as a wildcard entry in the 2014 Bathurst 1000 before a first full season in the championship last year. Pither said reports of Super Black Racing's departure from Prodrive Racing was a surprise. After an up-and-down season, Pither sits 19th in the championship points - having hoped that continuity with SBR would help improve his form looking towards 2017.
