Ex-Brad Jones Racing driver Tim Slade has been announced as Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin's co-driver for next year's endurance events.
Slade will replace Frenchman Alex Premat as McLaughlin's partner for the 2020 endurance events, just weeks after his four-year stint with BJR came to an end following the Newcastle 500.
Slade signed off his 11-year career as a full-time driver with a podium finish on the streets of Newcastle in the second race of the event on November 24.
Premat had been McLaughlin's co-driver for the past three seasons.
The pair combined to win this year's Bathurst 1000 but that victory has since been overshadowed by a team orders controversy which led to a fine and points deduction for DJR Team Penske.
