Motorsport Giving Ford V8 Supercars the strength to perform

V8 Supercars is one of Australia’s largest sports both in attendance and television audience – it’s also one of the toughest tests for Castrol EDGE, pushing the oil to its limits in every race of the season.

“Only one oil is recommended for the new range of supercharged BOSS 315 and 335 engines… and that’s Castrol Edge 5W-20.”

Paul Cook, Head of Programmes for Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) & Prodrive Australia

Loud, tribal, tough and typically Australian, V8 Supercars provides an epic battle between rivals Ford and Holden. This battle takes man and machine through extremes of weather and the toughest challenge of them all – the Bathurst 1000 – the holy grail of Australian motorsport.

Castrol has been at Bathurst since the beginning and has evolved with the event from its humble beginnings to its newfound status as an international icon – Bathurst keeps an entire nation on the edge of its seat throughout every dramatic twist and turn.

Paul Cook, Head of Programmes for Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) & Prodrive Australia recommends “only one oil” for his latest range of supercharged engines – Castrol EDGE 5W-20.

Cook explains that FPV “worked closely with Castrol to develop a unique and specific lubricant formulation to withstand the demands of the most powerful V8 engine ever offered by FPV. Castrol Edge 5W-20 both reduces friction and ensures maximum protection of all engine components”.

Castrol EDGE consistently gives V8 Supercars the strength to perform. And with races in New Zealand, the Middle East, and in 2013 the US, Castrol EDGE is doing its bit to help V8 Supercars become a truly international series.
