NEW TITLE PARTNER FOR EREBUS AT BATHURST
By Bruce Williams
Date posted: 21 September 2021
Continuing their rotating sponsorship arrangement for Will Brown’s Holden Commodore, Erebus Motorsport has revealed a new title partner the Bathurst 1000.
The #9 entry that Brown will share with Jack Perkins for the Great Race will feature support from Shaw and Partners, an investment and wealth management firm.
Although there are still four rounds yet to be run between now at the rescheduled race at Mt Panorama, which will also serve and this years season finale in December, the partnership will make its debut in this week’s virtual event at the same venue in the Supercars Eseries.
The new colours will be carried run Erebus Academy drivers Jobe Stewart and Jaylyn Robotham, who join forces for this week’s virtual enduro event.
“To develop our wonderful relationship with Shaw and Partners across this season and to see them take centre stage for both Bathurst events is fantastic,” said Shannen Kiely, Erebus Managing Director.
“In the real world, Bathurst is the biggest event on our calendar, and with popularity in the Eseries surging it makes absolute sense for us to debut a livery for this week’s round of virtual racing.”
The team will use an interim livery for the virtual race, with a specially designed livery to be revealed prior to the return of real racing at Mount Panorama.
“I’ve followed Supercars and have been a mad car fan dating right back since being a kid in the 70s,” said Earl Evans, Shaw and Partners Co-Chief Executive Officer.
“We are very excited at Shaw and Partners to have the opportunity to partner with Erebus as title sponsor for Bathurst.
“Erebus are a brilliant and very competitive team and we are thrilled with the partnership.”
Erebus Motorsport will field two entries in the Eseries enduro with Jarrad Filsell and Brodie Kostecki to run the Boost Mobile colours.
This week’s virtual event will see 20-laps run around the 6.2-kilometre virtual circuit, with All Stars drivers needing to have completed at least 8 of those laps.
For the first time in this Eseries, the All Stars will also enter a Top 5 Shootout after either driver sets their fastest lap in qualifying.
Qualifying kicks off from 7:00pm AEST Wednesday night and will be streamed on Facebook, Twitch and YouTube.
Racing coverage will then follow from 7:30pm AEST and will be broadcast live on Fox Sports, Kayo, 7 Plus and Sky NZ.
