Castrol’s new sponsorship strategy places its globally-recognised brand across two leading Ford and Holden entries.
“Castrol has been involved with FPR from the very beginning and the partnership continues to deliver both on and off the track,” Castrol Lubricants Marketing Director, Andrew Johnson said.
“Steven Richards and Mark Winterbottom are top level drivers and great ambassadors for our brand.
“We’re very excited about the new partnership with PMM, they are a long standing, professional team and we will field a highly competitive car and driver, plus their team facilities in Queensland are first class.”
