GM extends racing deal

General Motors Australia and New Zealand has announced a two-year extension to its long-standing sponsorship with Triple Eight Race Engineering.

The deal will see company brands, including ACDelco, GM Trade Parts and GMSV, continuing to adorn the championship-leading Red Bull Ampol Racing Commodores for the 2022 Supercars season. 

The collaboration will evolve further when the team switches to the all-new Gen3 Camaro Supercar under development by Triple Eight for Supercars and GM.

“It’s exciting to have GM ANZ on-board as we enter this highly anticipated new era in the sport,” says Roland Dane, managing director of Triple Eight Race Engineering.

“The company has been a key supplier and sponsor to the team via ACDelco and Holden for the past 11 years. Our mechanics value the little edge it gives us behind the scenes in our preparations.”

Marc Ebolo, managing director of GM ANZ, adds: “We’re proud to be continuing a legacy with this announcement – Holden has been a part of the motorsport landscape in Australia and New Zealand for more than 70 years.

“Our relationship with Triple Eight is a highly visible reminder to Supercars fans that there’s ongoing support for Holden genuine parts and servicing.”
