Penrite Racing and Gates Extend Partnership into 2026
Penrite Racing is proud to announce the extension of its valued partnership with Gates, global leader in application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions. This renewed agreement marks not just a continuation, but a celebration of a relationship built on trust, ambition and a shared drive

Since 2022, Gates has played a pivotal role both on and off the track, supporting the team
through both sponsorship and additionally within Grove Racing’s workshop and race-garage
operations.
Gates products help power the high-performance tools and equipment that keep the team running at its best. Their reliable, high-quality solutions continue to drive efficiency, durability, and top-tier performance across the entire Grove Racing operation.
This extended partnership reflects the deep alignment between both organisations and their mutualpassion for performance, innovation, and excellence.
Brenton Grove,
CEO Grove Racing
“Gates has been part of our journey from the very beginning, and their support has been instrumental in helping us build the team we are today. Their commitment to innovation and reliability mirrors exactly how we approach racing. We’re proud to continue that partnership and keep pushing forward together.”
Rainer Wuenstel,
Managing Director Gates Australasia
“For the past four years, our partnership with Grove Racing has been driven by a shared passion for excellence and a belief in the vision of team owner Stephen Grove.
This collaboration has delivered significant engagement and valuable partnerships, offering our customers, distributors, and automotive apprentices unique, money- can’t-buy experiences, from exclusive pit tours and driver meet-and-greets to VIP access that truly brings the race weekend to life. Celebrating the incredible milestone of winning Bathurst 1000 with Matthew Payne and Garth Tander in 2025 was a testament to the team’s relentless drive. We at Gates Australia are proud to be part of it.
As we extend this partnership into another season, we are fully focused on the ultimate goal: winning the 2026 team and driver championship. We look forward to celebrating many more victories, both on the track and through the valuable experiences we provide for our customers.”
