Repco is celebrating 100 years in 2022 and as sponsor of the Bathurst 1000 the brand is supporting a new display at the National Motor Racing Museum this week.

The new exhibit brings together cars from across Repco’s involvement in Australian motorsport, and not just at Mount Panorama but also the brand’s support of other categories including Formula One.

Key amongst the display are the 2000 Bathurst winning Garry Rogers Motorsport Holden Commodore, which was sponsored by Repco and driven by a young Garth Tander and Jason Bargwanna.

There’s also the Holden Torana L34 that Sir Jack Brabham and Sir Stirling Moss drove in the 1976 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 - or at least attempted to but were taken out of contention with a start-line accident.

But it’s not just touring cars, the 1979 Repco Reliability Trial has become an iconic event in the sport’s history and the Holden Commodore that Peter Brock, Noel Richards and Matt Philip drove to victory is also on display.

There’s also a pair of cars from Matich, the Australian constructor that was once dominant in local Formula 5000 and sportscar competition. The Repco exhibit features the Matich A53 Formula 500 that John Goss won the 1976 Australian Grand Prix in, as well as the Matich SR4 Cam-Am sportscar - both vehicles powered by Repco engines.

And, of course, any Repco-backed tribute wouldn’t be complete without including the Repco V8-powered Brabham BT19, the car that Sir Jack raced to the 1966 F1 world championship.

You can check out the Repco in Motorsport display at the National Motor Racing Museum, which is located outside Murray’s Corner at Mount Panorama.
