[1][2] The team made its competition debut at the 1994 Bathurst 1000, with owner Wayne Russell and Bernie Gillon driving a Holden Commodore VL.
A diminishing budget led to entry for only two rounds in 1998, at Phillip Island and Mallala respectively before the team moved to production car racing, running BMW Z3s.
The team began to regularly challenge the established runners in the top 10, while also providing support for a third car run by privateer Michael Hector.
With the backing of gym chain Plus Fitness, Novocastrian Motorsport made its return to V8 Supercars with a wildcard entry in the 2015 Bathurst 1000 with a Garry Rogers Motorsport-built Holden Commodore VF leased from Dragon Motor Racing.
With the support of Plus Fitness, the team took a 50% stake in the second Erebus Motorsport entry before the 2016 season, enabling Aaren to participate in the championship full-time.
Despite Aaren's consistent results amid a steep learning curve, conflicting interests between the team and Plus Fitness saw the outfit's contract terminated after the 2016 Townsville 500, with Craig Baird (and later Shae Davies) taking over the #4.
