13 Years at Full Throttle: Relive The Red Bull Ampol Racing Story
From Whincup’s championship charge to SVG’s Bathurst domination and Brown’s breakthrough, relive 13 years of Red Bull Ampol Racing history.
Part of this story
For 13 years, Red Bull Ampol Racing has been a fixture at the sharp end of Australian motorsport.
Through changing cars, changing liveries and changing generations of drivers, the team has delivered Championships, Bathurst triumphs, dramatic finishes and plenty of moments that have become part of Supercars folklore.
It started with Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes. Then came Shane van Gisbergen, Broc Feeney and a new era of drivers, with the red and blue machine continuing to find its way to the front of the grid.
From Championship celebrations to Bathurst battles, Adelaide street fights to one-off liveries, the last 13 years have been anything but predictable.
