The opportunity

Your brand goes where the car goes.

Across the 2026 season the car carries its partners onto the national broadcast, into the trackside crowd, and into the photo and video we produce every weekend, which partners are free to reuse on their own channels.

It is real, family-run, and Australian. People back people they can see and trust, and that is exactly what a partnership here puts in front of them.
