Supercars driver Declan Fraser has been presented with a new trophy for his 2022 Dunlop Super2 Series title after losing all his belongings in a house fire on the Gold Coast.
The blaze tore through the property he was living in at Hope Island back in October last year while the 24-year-old was racing at Bathurst.
Fraser lost the Super2 trophy along with the rest of his racing mementos and all possessions.
Dunlop has now stepped in to replace the trophy that represents Fraser’s biggest career achievement.
Fraser won the 2022 Super2 title at the helm of a Triple Eight Race Engineering Commodore VF, winning four races on his way to beating the likes of current main game drivers Matt Payne and Cameron Hill.
Fraser was on hand at Sydney Motorsport Park with BJR, where he will once again line up with Heimgartner in the Enduro Cup.
He was presented with an exact replica of the Super2 trophy by Dunlop’s Operations Manager Kevin Fitzsimons.

An emotional Fraser says it was a really nice surprise.
“Damn, I know what to say. I was not expecting that to say the least,” he said.
“It was pretty cool, Brad called me over and Kevin from Dunlop was there, and there’s a box with a gurney on the side of it. So I thought it might have been getting a gurney or something.
“Now to open the box and have my Super2 Championship trophy recreated for me, is wild. And I know there’s some people behind the scenes that have contributed to making this happen, and Kev for facilitating it. It’s just – It’s wild to see it in person and actually made me choke up a little bit. Even having this conversation right now is a little bit how you going. But really, really appreciative that everyone’s made this happen.”
The opening round of the 2025 Dunlop Super2 Series begins tomorrow at Sydney Motorsport Park.
