Penrite Racing Provides Gen3 Build Update

In their latest video, Penrite Racing Team Principal, David Cauchi provides insight into the progression of the team’s Gen3 build as it takes shape in their Braeside workshop.

Following a successful first season under the full ownership of Grove Group and an impressive 5th place finish in the Championship last year, the team have been at work preparing their Gen3 Ford Mustangs for the 2023 season which is set to kick off in March in Newcastle.

Both chassis, the first of which arriving late last year, have now been painted and prepped for the next build stage.

The build is being managed by Stephen Robertson, former Sporting and Technical Manager for Porsche Motorsport Australia who came on board with the team early 2022.

Robertson was appointed Project Manager of the Gen3 build for Penrite Racing with additional responsibilities including the development of the team’s infrastructure.

Penrite Racing Team Principal, David Cauchi said:

“We had the chassis turn up from Pace Innovation; so, they turn up raw [and] there’s a little bit of prep work that needed to be done. Then we sent them off to paint [and] now they’re back here and we are starting to bolt on all the various parts.”

“There’s still a lot of things being made and a lot if things being assembled behind the scenes as well, so slowly we’ll start to see more parts going on to the car. Next will be the body work, so the roof is one of the first things that will get bolted on to the car and then all the other panels can then follow from that.

“A lot of suspension is now getting built. The guys are working at the back on the gearbox and getting all the wiring loom for the rear firewall installed and then in not too long we’ll have a car that we can go racing with and have some fun,” said Cauchi.

The 2023 Repco Supercars Championship is set to kick off in March at the Thrifty Newcastle 500 from the 10th to the 12th with David Reynolds and Matthew Payne behind the wheel of the Penrite Racing Ford Mustangs.
