Penrite Racing unveils sleek 2025 look

Penrite Racing has stuck with tradition, unveiling a sleek black livery for the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship.

The Grove squad will field two Ford Mustangs for multiple race winner Matt Payne and rookie Kai Allen, who will race revised Penrite liveries from next weekend's Thrifty Sydney 500 - Opening Round.

The new gloss Penrite Racing livery is move away from the matte black 2024 look, which Payne carried to victory at the NTI Townsville 500.

Payne and Allen will form the youngest driver line-up on the grid, and the youngest in Supercars since 2007.

Stephen Grove, Grove Group Executive Chairman, said: "The 2025 season is a significant milestone as we continue our commitment to developing young talent, resulting in the youngest driver lineup on the grid.

"We are excited to welcome Kai Allen to the Penrite Racing Ford Mustangs. Grove Racing are proud to continue our partnership with Penrite Oil as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2026 along with our valued family of sponsors, we look forward to a successful year on track."
