The unveiling of a special livery has kicked off the festivities

Penrite Oil says it was proud to publicly launch its 100-year celebrations at the Bathurst 1000, symbolising a century of trust, Australian manufacturing, and unwavering commitment to quality.
To honour this extraordinary milestone, the Penrite Racing Supercars Team showcased a special livery at the Repco Bathurst 1000 Supercars event across both of its Mustangs.
The striking design featured the Australian flag flowing across the car, complemented by bold gold accents running down the sides – a proud nod to Penrite’s “deep Australian heritage, performance, trust and keeping Australia moving since 1926.”
In a symbolic gesture that captured the spirit of the centenary, Matt Payne’s #26 Mustang – which went on to claim victory at the Great Race – carried the #100 during the week – representing both the company’s journey over the past hundred years and its promise to keep driving forward for the next hundred.
“Reaching 100 years is an extraordinary milestone for our family business,” Penrite Oil Chief Executive Officer, Toby Dymond, said.
“It is a tribute not only to the generations of our family who have poured their heart into Penrite, but also to our loyal customers, partners, and employees who have supported us every step of the way.
“We’re proud to be Australian owned and operated, and this celebration is about honouring the trust placed in us while looking forward to the next century of keeping Australia moving.”
In addition to the on-track celebrations, the livery launch was broadcast live on Sunrise, Australia’s number one breakfast program at 8.00am local time on Channel 7.
This exclusive coverage gave Penrite Racing fans the very first look at the livery as it was revealed, sharing the excitement of this historic milestone with viewers right across the country.
“This is more than just a livery. It is a celebration of everything Penrite has stood for since 1926 – performance, reliability, and a passion for keeping Australians moving,” Penrite Oil Head of Strategy and Engagement, Priscilla Robb, said.
“To see that legacy carried onto the track at Bathurst, one of the most iconic races in the world, was an incredibly proud moment for us.”
The launch at Bathurst marked the beginning of a two-year program of 100-year celebrations, which will run through to the end of 2026.
Across this period, Penrite will be honouring its history, employees, customers, and partners, while also looking firmly to the future, with initiatives that celebrate its Australian roots, motorsport achievements, and ongoing commitment to innovation.
