On 24 December 2014, it was announced that Percat would contest the2015 season withLucas Dumbrell Motorsport. He endured a mediocre season, with a best finish of 6th at theGold Coast 600. He finished 22nd in the championship despite not racing in the final two rounds of the year due to a foot injury.
The2016 season kicked off with Percat taking a shock win in unpredictable circumstances at the2016 Clipsal 500 Adelaide, which was also the first win for the team.[5] Percat became the first South Australian driver to win the local event.
Percat continued his strong form at the2016 Bathurst 1000 by scoring a podium with co-driveCameron McConville. Percat has finished on the podium 3 times out of his 8 starts. Percat signed a contract to race forBrad Jones Racing, replacing outgoing driverJason Bright. Results for Percat were mixed due to a horror run of bad luck from the BJR team. The highlight of the year was Percat's first podium for the team at the Darwin Triple Crown event.
Results for2018 were much improved for Percat, and the whole BJR team, with Percat scoring 2 podiums at the Australian Grand Prix event, narrowly missing out on winning the Larry Perkins Trophy. Percat finished the year 10th in the championship, his best result to date.
In2019 Percat took another step forward in the championship. He didn't score a podium, but was one of the most consistent drivers in the field and finished the year in 9th.
In2020, he enjoyed his best Supercars season to date, finishing 7th in the Championship, claimed two wins during the Sydney SuperSprint round and a podium finish in the second race of the Darwin SuperSprint.
After five seasons withBrad Jones Racing, Percat announced on 26 October 2021 that he would be returning toWalkinshaw Andretti United in 2022 on a multiple-year deal.[6]
Following a period of disappointing results amid Walkinshaw’s debut season aboard Ford Mustang’s for2023, it was announced on 21 August 2023 that he would no longer be driving for the team in2024.
