Supercheap Auto Racing

Supercheap Auto Racing has been the sponsored identity of several Australian, mostly Queensland based racing teams since the mid-1990s when automotive parts retail chain Supercheap Auto began sponsoring motor racing teams. The identity has travelled from one racing team to another as the chain transferred its sponsorship. The current holder of the Supercheap Auto Racing identity is the Melbourne based V8 Supercar team, Walkinshaw Racing.

Famous quotes containing the word racing:

    Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
