Leading oil company Caltex Australia and Australia's market leader in fluid transfer solution products and services, Pirtek, have formed a partnersh🌳ip on and off the race track.

Both companies are individual sponsors of Stone Brothers Racing - the lead💃ing team in the V8 Supercar Championship Seri꧒es with Marcos Ambrose driving the Pirtek Ford and Russell Ingall campaigning in the Caltex Havoline Ford.

Today it was announced that Ambrose𒆙 and Ingall will drive together at both the Betta Electrical Sandown 500 (12-14 September) and the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 at Bathurst (9-12 October) in a specially designed BA Falcon carrying sponsorship from both companies.

Caltex and Pirtek have also announced a long-term business partnershไip which will see Caltex lubricants used by theꦓ national network of Pirtek Service and Supply Centres. Caltex lubricants supplied to Pirtek will also be co-branded.

Under the agreement Ca💎ltex will also service the fuel requirements of Pirtek's expansive network.

Caltex's National Manager Lubricants and Speci♉alty Products Gavin Tory said the new agreement provides so mꦡany great opportunities.

"There is a lot of alignment between our bꦫusinesses and our customer bases and that should provide mutual opportunities for both parties," said Mr Tory. "Caltex highly values good partnerships. We are very excited to be partnering with Pirtek on and o🌺ff the race track."

Pirtek General Manager Glenn Duncan🍬 said the ext🍰ensive partnership with Caltex will play a vital role in the company's future.

"We had been with a previous supplie♏r for many years but we believe that Caltex is the company we need to be aligned with as we move forward," Mr Duncan said. "Caltex has a strong industrial base and that is where we see many of our future custome🍬rs.

"It was important for us to form a partnership with a well structured entity like Caltex and the other major benefit is that we can team-up our two great drivers Marcos Ambrose and Rus🎉sell Ingall in th🌠e same car at the endurance events. Like those races, this partnership is about quality and endurance."

In the meantime the Pirtek Ford and Caltex Havoline Ford will go head-to-head this weekend in the eighth round of the V8 Supercar Championship Series at 🦩Sydney's Oran Park.

Havoline Premium is the "off the shelf" en💫gine oil used in Stone Brothers Racing Ford V8 Supercars driven by Russell Ingall and Marcos Ambrose.
