The Melbourne-based team revealed the stunning look at a sponsor function on Friday night ahead of a public event today.<\/p>\n
Grove is gunning for a maiden Supercars title this season with drivers Matt Payne and Kai Allen, to be joined by Will Davison and Tim Slade in the Enduro Cup.<\/p>\n
The squad finished second in the teams\u2019 championship in a 2025 season in which Payne and Garth Tander won Bathurst and Allen was a Grand Finalist.<\/p>\n
\u201cCelebrating 100 years of Penrite Oil is a special moment for our team,\u2019 said team owner Stephen Grove.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn Australian business and still family owned and\u00a0operated, it honours their remarkable history.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis livery\u00a0represents\u00a0more than just\u00a0a new look. It reflects the strength\u00a0of our partnerships, which are central to everything we do.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reflects the standards we hold ourselves too and\u00a0our commitment to present and perform at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Groves cars continue to carry the numbers #19 and #26 in reference to the year Penrite was established.<\/p>\n
Penrite Oil CEO Toby Dymond said the Grove livery is just part of planned celebrations of the company\u2019s heritage this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cReaching our 100th year is a moment we\u2019re incredibly proud of, and the gold livery is a meaningful way to mark that milestone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPenrite began in 1926 as an Australian made, family-owned business, and seeing \u201819\u2019 and \u201826\u2019 running together on both cars is a reminder of the journey that has brought us here and the legacy we carry forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the year, we\u2019ll be celebrating our golden era with a range of moments and activations that honour our history while looking firmly to the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cMotorsport has always been an important part of our story, and we\u2019re excited for what lies ahead this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish Matt Payne and Kai Allen every success as they carry our colours into a year that means so much to the entire Penrite family.\u201d<\/p>\n
The black and gold look is reminiscent of the famed JPS colours of the 1970s and \u201980s \u2013 a livery the Penrite-backed Erebus paid tribute to in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Grove Racing is meanwhile preparing to field a Mercedes-AMG GT3 in next weekend\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour for Allen, Davison and Brenton Grove.<\/p>\n PHOTOS: All angles of 2026 Grove Racing Penrite livery<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
