Advantage Racing was an Australian touring car racing team that competed in the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1992 and 1993 .
History
[ edit ]
At the end of 1990 Peter Brock concluded a deal with his former Bathurst 1000 winning co-driver Larry Perkins , that saw him close down his Mobil 1 Racing team and bring his sponsorship to Perkins Engineering . Two Holden Commodore VNs were built, with Perkins driving the second car.[1] [2] [3]
At the end of 1991 , Brock and Perkins decided to go their separate ways with Brock's manager, Steve Frazer, forming Advantage Racing based in North Melbourne . As part of the deal, the two 1991 Perkins Engineering built Commodore VNs were purchased by Advantage.[1] [4]
For 1992 , Neil Crompton was signed to drive the second car, but a funding shortfall saw the team scale back to one car after four rounds and miss two rounds entirely. One of the VNs was upgraded to VP Bathurst .[1] [5]
In 1993 only one car was entered for Brock, initially a converted VN with a new VP debuting mid-season. The team again expanded to two cars for Sandown and Bathurst endurance races. At the end of 1993, a deal was concluded that saw Brock and the Mobil sponsorship move to the Holden Racing Team and Advantage Racing was wound up.[1] [3] [6]
Although the team never won a round, Brock won heats at Amaroo Park in 1992 and Oran Park in 1993.[5] [6]
