In 2004, the team debuted in the main V8 Supercar series at round 6 with Brian's son Garth driving an ex Glenn Seton Racing Ford Falcon AU using a franchise leased from Romano Racing.

At the end of 2004, Walden Motorsport concluded a deal to purchase the Romano Racing franchise, however V8 Supercars refused to sanction the sale.[1][2]
