Supercars: WAU unveils new sponsor for Mostert
Walkinshaw Andretti United has today revealed the all-new Mobil 1™ Optus Racing No. 25, which will be piloted by Chaz Mostert in the 2022 Supercars Championship.
Mobil 1 enter their 29th year with the Team, and will retain their traditional spot on the bonnet of Car No. 25.
Optus have increased their presence, moving from Platinum Partner in 2021 to Co-Naming Rights Partner for 2022. Optus are about giving Australians the confidence to say yes. They’re doing this through delivering a reliable, world-class network.
The black-white and teal livery was brought to life through valued partners PPG, Signzone and Spicers.
After three-seasons as a Co-Naming Rights Partner, Appliances Online remain with the team in 2022 to continue the relationship that was started in 2019.
Morris enters its 12th year with the team in 2022, increasing their support once again. That partnership dates back to the 2011 season. Joining them as platinum partners are NTI, Goodyear Autocare, and Amarok W580.
Also returning are valued partners Corestaff, Versor, PPG, Appliances Online, Palm Trans, Prixcar Fleet Services, Woodstock Bourbon and Cola, UMS, Thetford, UMS, Amadio Wines, Lloyds Auctions, Raceline, OMP, SP Tools, King Springs, Kangan Institute, NGK, Oakley, Motum Simulation, K&N Filters, Kleentek, Stratasys, and TPF Sports.
As previously announced, new partners joining the Team in 2022 are Isuzu Trucks, Supercheap Auto and Anthem Workwear.
Mostert will have his first drive for 2022 at the upcoming pre-season test day on Tuesday February 22 at Winton Motor Raceway, alongside teammate Nick Percat.

“It’s awesome to finally show off the wheels for 2022, the Mobil 1 Optus Racing No. 25 looks amazing.
“Of course, having Mobil 1 on the bonnet is iconic and it is a brand I’m really proud to represent, but also to now have Optus alongside them is really cool, we started an awesome relationship last year, and I’m looking forward to saying yes more than ever this year.
“The really cool thing about Walkinshaw Andretti United is how big of a family it is, including our entire partner group – their support and loyalty is incredible. It’s amazing to see the long term relationships like Morris, PPG and of course Mobil 1; I’m really proud to represent them all this year.
“Can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Mobil 1 Optus Racing No. 25 now, and get the year underway.”
BRUCE STEWART – TEAM PRINCIPAL, WALKINSHAW ANDRETTI UNITED
“We are delighted to reveal the Mobil 1 Optus Racing No. 25 to the world. The iconic Mobil 1 on a white bonnet, and then the Optus on the sides of the car really make it a standout, and I’m sure fans will agree.
“The loyalty of Mobil 1 over 29 years is incredible, and now to have Optus as a Co-Naming Rights Partner for 2022 is fantastic. They were amazing supporters of ours in 2021, and I can’t wait to see what we achieve together moving forwards.
“Once again, I can’t speak highly enough of our entire partner group and the support they’ve shown to our Team, to have so many returning once again is a credit to them, and something we are proud of. You look at partnerships like what we have with Morris, who are now in their 12th year with the team, and its pretty incredible to think about.
“A special thanks as well must go out to Appliances Online who have been a wonderful supporter of our team since 2019, it’s great they continue with us in 2022.
“Now, let’s get this season underway!”
