The Nissan PRO-4X Warrior team will be on standby for each race event, taking their namesake from the new Nissan Navara which they will use on track.
The team will make their debut at the first championship event at Phillip Island this weekend, 18-20 March.
"We have a really talented pool of recovery officials across Australia who do amazing work at all levels of the sport," said Michael Smith, Motorsport Australia Director of Motorsport & Commercial Operations.
"They give up their time, energy and often their own equipment to help events run smoothly, negotiating tight schedules and cleaning up after significant incidents to maximise racing time."
The Warrior is the top of the line model in the Nissan Navara range, locally developed by Victorian automotive-engineering company Premcar.
"Leading up to this year, our focus for Motorsport Australia promoted events is to have a consistent recovery team available at each event who know the cars and circuits well."
"That’s why for all Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships events, we’ll have the Nissan PRO-4X Warrior team on stand by ready to assist with any complex recoveries that come their way."
"The inclusion of the Nissan PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar is a significant boost, given the Warrior’s towing capacity and ability to carry necessary equipment to reach and clear an incident in the most efficient way possible."
"A big thank you to Nissan for their support of the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships."
The series runs across seven events from March to October, featuring the S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship, TCR Australia, the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia, the Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia, Trans Am, Touring Car Masters, and more.
