Stephen Grove, Team Owner, Grove Racing
“Celebrating 100 years of Penrite Oil is a special moment for our team. An Australian business and still family owned and operated, it honours their remarkable history. This livery represents more than just a new look. It reflects the strength of our partnerships, which are central to everything we do. It reflects the standards we hold ourselves too and our commitment to present and perform at the highest level.”
Toby Dymond, CEO, Penrite Oil
“Reaching our 100th year is a moment we’re incredibly proud of, and the Gold Livery is a meaningful way to mark that milestone. Penrite began in 1926 as an Australian made, family-owned business, and seeing ‘19’ and ‘26’ running together on both cars is a reminder of the journey that has brought us here and the legacy we carry forward.
Throughout the year, we’ll be celebrating our Golden Era with a range of moments and activations that honour our history while looking firmly to the future. Motorsport has always been an important part of our story, and we’re excited for what lies ahead this season. I wish Matt Payne and Kai Allen every success as they carry our colours into a year that means so much to the entire Penrite family.”
Matt Payne, Driver #19

Kai Allen, Driver #26
“As drivers, we feel the support of our partners every time we step into the car. This livery represents the hard work of the entire team behind the scenes and the legacy of the Penrite Oil brand. It looks incredible, the energy within the team is strong, and we can’t wait to get racing.”
