Motorcycling Australia (MA) and the ProMX Management Team are ecstatic to announce a major new partnership with Australia’s leading oil and lubricants manufacturer – Penrite Oil- as the Naming Rights title partner for the inaugural 2021 and beyond, Penrite ProMX Championship (ProMX).
Penrite are a world-renowned, industry leading oil manufacturer, with a direct connection in supporting motor racing in Australia both through their products and sponsorship activations, and to have them partner with MA as Naming Rights title partner for the future is a massive win for the sport and secures the long-term development for the sport of motocross as a whole.
The 2021 Penrite ProMX Championship will deliver eight rounds of epic handlebar to handlebar action, across seven stand out venues Australia-wide; with the nation’s best motocross riders going head-to-head in the premier MX1, MX2, MX3 classes, and at selected rounds with the MXW (MX Womens), VETS (Veterans), 125cc Cup and Classic Motocross Evolution Cup classes.
Penrite have a long and proud history supporting Australian motocross, and this new partnership with MA is a further significant investment into the sport for the 100% Australian owned company.
Penrite’s commitment to motorsport, and specifically motorcycle racing is significant, with a strong presence in off-road competition as well as road racing. Penrite’s race proven products include engine oils for two and four stroke motorcycle products, as well as cars and trucks, but also include motorcycle gearbox, and airbox oils as well as a range of fork oil and cleaning products.
With Penrite as the Naming Rights title sponsor, the ProMX logo now incorporates the newly designed Penrite ProMX logo.
