Mike Stock · 0 comments

Porsche Cars Australia (PCA) will partner with SP Tools as the official tool partner for the 2021 Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia and Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge series.

SP Tools will also be the naming rights partner for the Mechanic of the Year award, which provides recognition and support of the mechanics among the local Porsche teams contesting the Carrera Cup Australia series.

PCA’s motorsport boss, Troy Bundy, says Carrera Cup Australia mechanics are “the unsung heroes of our series and often don’t get the recognition they deserve, working tirelessly throughout the season…

“While their work is vital in the success of every driver’s performance, their efforts are often unnoticed behind the scenes.”

He says the SP Tools mechanic of the year award will “provide recognition to the great work these mechanics do to ensure both the drivers, and the series, remain a success.”

The award will go to the number one mechanic of the outright championship winning car.

The SP Tools brand will also adorn the bonnet and side flanks of the Team Porsche New Zealand entry of Matthew Payne in the Carrera Cup Australia.

Payne recently clinched the 2021 Toyota Racing Series in NZ.

The Kiwi will spearhead the Earl Bamber Motorsport team’s efforts when the 2021 Carrera Cup series begins at Sandown International Raceway in Melbourne this weekend.
