Hughes returned to Super2 and Image Racing in 2025,[15] only taking a best result of eighth at Townsville as he ended the year 18th in the standings.[16] In parallel to his Super2 campaign, Hughes also returned to the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series with IES Motorsport,[17] and took eight wins en route to his maiden TA2 title,[18] whilst also finishing runner-up in the TA2 Kings of the West sub-championship.[19] Hughes also returned to GT4 Australia, joining Triple Eight Race Engineering alongside Summer Rintoule,[20] with whom he finished third in the Silver Cup standings after scoring eight podiums across the 12-race season.[21] During 2025, Hughes made his Supercars debut as Jack Le Brocq's co-driver at Erebus Motorsport for the Enduro Cup.[22][23]
Ahead of 2026, Hughes was retained by Erebus Motorsport as their co-driver for the endurance races of the following year's Supercars Championship season.[24] During 2026, Hughes also joined Method Motorsport for his third season in GT4 Australia,[25] as well as returning to IES Motorsport to race in the Australian National Trans Am Series.[26]
