As well as the chance to get up close and personal with Scott McLaughlin’s actual #17 Shell V-Power Racing Ford Mustang race car, PPG Clayton staff also got the unique opportunity meet both team drivers. Indeed, Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard spent plenty of time chatting to staff, signing autographs and posing for photos. It’s an event the drivers actually look forward to, explains Scott McLaughlin.
“The support PPG gives us doesn’t go unnoticed. Events like this are a great opportunity to socialise with a long-term team sponsor and, in this case, with the people who actually develop and manufacture the products that go into making our cars look so good. For DJR Team Penske, the appearance of the cars is very important. When we roll the cars out, they have to look like brand new. PPG products also ensure the DJR Team Penske standout on the grid and in the races. If people like the look of the cars, they take photos, posters go up on bedroom walls and they follow the team and become fans. PPG is a great sponsor to have, that is for sure!”
As an added bonus, PPG Clayton staff were able to enter a free raffle, with the DJR Team Penske drivers drawing out the winner for a signed bumper bar from a DJR Penske race car, along with a number of signed mini helmets and team hats.
As well as Scott McLaughlin taking the 2018 and 2019 Supercars Driver’s Championship, DJR Team Penske has also won the Supercars Team’s Championship in 2017 and 2019 and the Supercars Best Presented Team title in 2017 and 2018.
