Medlyn's along with 49 other workshops will become part of motoring history after securing an exclusive opportunity to have their workshop name appear on the bonnet of a V8 supercar car in recognition of their contribution to the relief initiative.
Repco Authorised Service, Australia’s largest independent mechanical service network, have teamed up with Brad Jones Racing by sponsoring car number 8 at the iconic Bathurst 1000.
Nick Percat and Macauley Jones will be behind the wheel of the V8 Holden Super Car that has been especially sign written for the biggest motoring event of the year.
Nick Costa, National Manager for Repco Authorised Service said the company is thrilled to be involved with the nation’s biggest motorsport event and even more so with the opportunity to help support our local farming communities.
“We know how important these communities are to the National economy; when our farmers hurt, everyone hurts, Mr Costa said.
“It’s a great fit for us to be associated with a team that is aligned with our values. Every one of our 450 workshops are family owned and independent and, just like BJR, they all share a passion for automotive excellence.”
Team Boss Brad Jones said they are well known for being the regional based, family owned team and that’s what has really connected us with the Repco Authorised Service teams.
“60% of their workshops are regionally based like us, so you’d never be too far away from one of their trusted service centres,” he said.
“Macauley is a qualified mechanic and works on his own car, so he knows the importance of getting the job done right.
“He relies on it on the race track, and for drivers in general; we need to be able to rely on our road cars every day.
“That’s why Repco Authorised Service teams are found far and wide across Australia and are always there to help keep you safe on the road.”
“It’s exciting to showcase the Repco Authorised Service brand on Nick and Macauley’s Supercar at Bathurst.
“This event truly is like no other and I would love for nothing more than for our guys to stand tall on that podium come Sunday at Bathurst.”
