🇦🇺 Tim Slade

Tim Slade is a professional driver racing in the Supercars Championship, where he has spent seven seasons with Bendix Racing and latterly other teams. Graded FIA Gold, he competes in solo sprint racing in Australia's premier single-class touring-car series, which fields a mix of amateur through professional drivers. He remains active in 2025, currently 27th in the championship standings after two rounds.[1]

Slade has taken three podiums across 153 starts in his indexed career, all of them in the Supercars Championship where he has raced since 2019. He also made two appearances in S5000 in 2022, scoring a podium, and contested the Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race in 2024 alongside other drivers in a shared-car entry. His longest tenure has been with CoolDrive Racing, which fielded him for 63 of his Supercars starts in a team fielding professional-level drivers but without a race win to its name.[2]

Slade races regularly against established professionals in the Supercars grid. He typically finishes behind Cameron Waters, a driver with 221 starts in the series, and runs closely matched with Anton De Pasquale, also an FIA Gold driver with comparable experience. He has beaten Scott McLaughlin, who won the Supercars Championship in both 2019 and 2020 before moving to IndyCar, once across their meetings; against Broc Feeney, the 2025 Supercars champion, he has finished ahead 16 times in a field where Feeney has completed 134 starts.
