Having competed 3 season's in the V8 Supercar
Championship Series, the Toll Racing Team was formed in the mid 1990's with
a "career path" that brought them via the Porsche Cup Championship and into
V8 Supercar's on a part-time basis since 1997. You can see this in more
detail if you go to the history section from the above button directory.
Prior to 2000, the team's V8 Supercar activities encompassed selected events
including the Bathurst 1000 kilometre, and Sandown 500 endurance races where
former Formula One World Champion, Alan Jones MBE joined the team as co-driver. Costing in excess of a four hundred thousand ($400k) dollars, the supercars that take to the tracks bear no resemblance to your road-going counterpart, except for their sheet-metal skins. Achieving speeds of over 300 km/h, the Toll Racing VY has been designed and built with the latest in touring car technology, from brakes to suspension, gearbox and differential, sophisticated on-board computer management, and a 650 horsepower V8 engine. You can see what makes the Toll race car thunder down under by looking at our interactive car specification page in the team section. While your there take a look at our new workshop based in Melbourne, Australia, which has it's own dedicated engineering facilities that includes specialist component development and testing equipment.

There thanks to Sophie McNutt of Toll Racing, we bring you right into the action with every round that we battle it out in.
