One of the world’s leading Original Equipment and automotive aftermarket windscreen wiper product manufacturers, Trico, has announced its sponsorship of promising young Supercars driver, Cooper Murray.
The 22-year-old currently competes in the Super2 Series with Eggleston Motorsport and will also pilot the Triple Eight Race Engineering #888 Chevrolet Camaro in the leading Supercar team’s wildcard program alongside Supercars legend Craig Lowndes.
Impressively, Cooper won his debut Super2 race in 2023, before finishing fourth in the championship, including a second victory, three podiums and a pole position to close out a very successful inaugural season.
His racing career began with karts at the age of 10, winning a pair of Australasian Championship titles and six state titles before graduating to car racing.
After two seasons of racing in national and state level Formula Ford, he impressed on debut in the Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge taking eight wins from 17 starts, ultimately finishing second in the final series standings.
Graduating to Porsche Carrera Cup Australia in 2019, Cooper claimed a hat-trick of wins in Townsville along with podium finishes, which is momentum he would take into 2020, sweeping all three races at Adelaide’s opening round before the COVID-19 pandemic brought a premature end to the season.
He was again a contender for the Porsche Carrera Cup title in 2021, earning a call-up to the prestigious global Porsche Junior Shootout, followed by the completion of evaluation days with Team 18 and Erebus Motorsport which pivoted his focus to the Supercars Championship.
Cooper’s goal is to deliver results in the remaining rounds of the 2024 Super2 Series where he’ll be supported by his new personal sponsor and world class manufacturer of windscreen wipers and associated products, Trico.
“It is a real honour to have Trico along for the ride with me in the 2024 Super2 Series,” Cooper said.
“To be able to have the support of an iconic global brand on my car and helmet is pretty special and I’m looking forward to having some shared success on track in the year ahead.”
Trico Asia Pacific Sales Manager, Adam Rickard, said he is thrilled to welcome Cooper as Trico’s new and exciting motorsport brand ambassador.
“When looking to further our engagement with motorsport, Cooper Murray raced to pole position,” Adam said.
“Not only for the success that he is already achieving, but the professionalism that he carries himself with.
“Trico’s vision for this partnership is clear – the best wipers paired with the one of the best up and coming racing drivers.”
