Renault Australia increase support for Garry Rogers Motorsport

Renault Australia has confirmed increased support for Garry Rogers Motorsport, with the team carrying a Renault Sport Megane R.S. livery on James Moffat’s car for the coming round at Queensland Raceway on August 2-5th.

“We are proud to extend our motorsport association in Australia beyond Formula 1 and to continue to strengthen the connection between our racing heritage and our everyday road vehicles,” said Anouk Poelmann, Renault Australia managing director.

“The performance of Garry Rogers Motorsport to date highlights the genuine racing pedigree of both the Megane R.S. and the team.”

The team started the cooperation with Renault Australia ahead of the season, receiving spare parts and support vehicles.

Moffat is currently placed second overall in the standings with three podium finishes while Renault team-mate Chris Pither is placed tenth.

“Over the years we have enjoyed support from some of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers and our most recent alignment with Renault through our Megane R.S. TCR program is something very special,” said team owner Barry Rogers.

“As a family owned and operated Motorsport operation that began in a small weatherboard shed in my grandparents back yard by my dad, Garry, in 1963 we are extremely proud of what we have been able to achieve in the 55 plus years following. There is no doubt that the ever present hands on approach of Garry has been a driving factor of this success, yet nothing would be possible without Garry Rogers Motorsport’s tremendous workforce who deliver on Garry’s dreams.”
