Pennzoil Aussie Racing Car

Pennzoil Australia is a proud major supporting partner of the 2007 Aussie Racing Cars Series.

Pennzoil lubricants are used exclusively by Aussie Racing Cars. The makers of the vehicles are now recognized as the largest manufacturers of racing cars ever in Australia and the on track competition is also regarded as the most successful ever in this country.

The Series has grown in prominence over the last few seasons and now receives major Television exposure in its own "Aussie Racing Cars" branded program that features on pay TV both nationally and internationally.

The Pennzoil Racing Team campaigns no less than 4 highly competitive racing machines. The team’s lead car is liveried in Pennzoil Platinum colours and three are in the traditional world recognized bright yellow. The cars and driver talent are represented in two divisions of the Series.


Outright Contenders
David Lawrence - Car 16, Pennzoil Platinum Racing, Platinum Falcon

22 years old Go Kart champion having his first season driving in Aussie Racing Cars in the flagship for the Team, the Pennzoil Platinum Falcon. This young charger who has grown up in Go Kart racing, lives and breathes motorsport and his tenacious attitude towards his driving is second to none. Winning in Karts has become a way of life for the young charger. He has the ability and ambition to lead the pack in the Platinum car and he won’t accept anything less.
Grant Crosby - Car 4, Works Team Pennzoil Racing, Pennzoil Commodore

Former New Zealand V8 Development Series racer who has expanded his horizons to compete in front of the large crowds in Australia, the 21 year old sees this opportunity as a step forward in his racing career. Aussie Racing Cars need to be driven hard and on the edge and Crosby’s tiger instinct and winning experience gained behind the wheel back home across the Tasman puts him in good stead to get the Yellow Pennzoil Team car to the chequered flag first.

Masters Cup Contenders
Mark Duckworth - Car 34, Pennzoil Parts Plus Racing, Pennzoil Falcon

Mark is now competing in his 5th season in Aussie Racing Cars and is a regular visitor to the podium. He carries the Pennzoil colours at the front of the pack and although he is competing for outright honors he is also the man to beat in the Masters Cup section of the Series. When the action is on you will invariably catch the yellow Falcon of Mark Duckworth in amongst it.
Greg Doyle - Car 4, Works Team Pennzoil Racing, Pennzoil Falcon

Greg has returned to competing in Aussie Racing Cars after honing his skills in prototype Sportscar racing over the past couple of seasons. His steady approach to getting results is a great asset to the Team as a strong back-up and contrast in style to hard charging Duckworth.
The Pennzoil Lubricants Aussie Racing Cars equip of drivers and cars are the most diverse of any under the distinctive oval banner around the world. The mix of raw young talent on one hand balanced with maturity and experience on the other forms a perfect platform to demonstrate winning performance. Each team driver relies on the quality and superiority of Pennzoil’s famous lubricants to give them the edge. In the heat and the rigors of top level competition at over 11,500RPM Pennzoil is the only one they count on.

"We are thrilled with the long term support that the famous Pennzoil Company has provided to the category. Their bright yellow liveried race cars have become a tradition in most aspects of big-time motor racing and we are very proud to promote that world wide tradition across Australia. We have come to rely on the superior quality of Pennzoil’s lubricants which have given us outstanding reliability and performance in this highly stressed and competitive environment. The engines we use are standard units originally designed for road going use but the fantastic lubricating qualities of Pennzoil Products have enabled us to stress them to the limit under extreme racing conditions with complete reliability. We have the highest praise for Pennzoil products and they carry my personal recommendation for any high performance application".
