From 2026, the Perth-based diecast manufacturer will produce Supercars licensed scale models and products.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made at Melbourne\u2019s Diecast Model Expo, which takes place on September 19-21 at Westwaters Caroline Springs.<\/p>\n

\u201cTriple Eight Race Engineering is one of the most iconic and successful teams in Supercars history, and we\u2019re honoured to become their official partner for scale models and more,\u201d said William Hall, owner and managing director of Authentic Collectables.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Red Bull Ampol Racing team making the switch to the Ford in 2026, it\u2019s a truly exciting time to be working together.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans and collectors can expect the same attention to detail and quality they know us for, along with fresh, innovative products that bring the team\u2019s legacy to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the signing of Triple Eight, the diecast producer has cemented itself as the go-to for Supercars fans having signed deals with every team.<\/p>\n

The deal coincides with Triple Eight\u2019s move to Ford in 2026, which will see the team continue under the Red Bull Ampol Racing banner.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans buy these cars to relive memories and remember history being created,\u201d said Triple Eight team principal Jamie Whincup.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the iconic races, their favourite drivers, cars that caught their eye, it all builds that real emotional connection to the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttention to detail and quality of these model cars is so important to fans. It really does the job in bringing these cars to life. Authentic Collectables bring that to their cars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first model to be produced under the partnership will be the Red Bull Ampol Mustang launch car, as displayed at the team\u2019s Ford announcement on January 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans follow this team and these cars not only on track but off track as well with their collectables,\u201d said Whincup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to help us celebrate the last sixteen 16 years and all the cars that have come out of the Triple Eight workshop as well as kick off our next chapter with the Mustang.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see this team\u2019s legacy celebrated through these products.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A render of a Ford Mustang Supercar in Triple Eight Race Engineering’s Red Bull\/Ampol colours.
