The team took the covers off the new look just in time for the start of the 2025 Supercars season

Penrite Racing was excited to reveal its striking 2025 season livery, an evolution of the 2024 design, ahead of the opening of the new Supercars season at Sydney Motorsport Park.
The new livery showcases a sleek signature pattern, building on the success of last year’s design, with a refreshed and dynamic aesthetic that embodies the team’s passion for performance and commitment to excellence.
The 2025 livery unveiled by Penrite Racing not only boasts a sleek new design, but also proudly displays the team’s valued partnerships, renewing key collaborations with premier, major, and official sponsors, while also welcoming the addition of exciting new partners.
Penrite Racing’s 2025 season is being led by a youthful and dynamic driver line-up, featuring Matt Payne in Car #19 and rookie sensation Kai Allen in Car #26, marking the youngest driver pairing in the Supercars Championship in 18 years.
The driver pairings for Penrite Racing’s endurance campaign have also been confirmed, with Matt Payne in Car #19 being joined by the highly experienced and accomplished Garth Tander, a five-time Bathurst Champion. Meanwhile, Car #26 will see rookie Kai Allen partnered with seasoned co-driver Dale Wood, providing a strong balance of youth and experience, and demonstrating the team’s commitment to achieving excellence.
Under the leadership of Team Principal David Cauchi, Penrite Racing is poised for a strong season, with David’s focus on performance, strategy, and teamwork driving the team’s ambitions.
Supported by Technical Director Grant McPherson, who brings a wealth of technical expertise to the table, the team is well-equipped to optimise the performance of the Ford Mustangs and provide a competitive platform for drivers Matt Payne and Kai Allen to succeed.
“This is a year of evolution for Penrite Racing, and this is reflected in our 2025 season livery. As we continue our relationship with many long-standing partners, as well as bring some new brands and faces into the sport,” David Cauchi said.
“We welcome Kai Allen to the team and are excited to partner him alongside Matthew Payne and bring the most youthful driver line up to the sport.
“We look forward to developing our Penrite Racing Ford Mustangs throughout the season and work towards the new finals system introduced for the first time this year. 2025 will certainly be a year to watch all the way till the chequered flag drops at the final race.”
As the team takes to the track, it will also be celebrating a significant milestone with naming rights sponsor Penrite Oil, which is gearing up to commemorate its 100-year anniversary in 2026. A testament to the company’s rich history and dedication to the sport, it will make this season a truly memorable one for the team and its partners.
