Super Black Racing is a New Zealand motor racing team, established in 2014.
History
Super Black Racing was conceived in 2014 by Paul Radisich with the aim of forming a New Zealand team to enter the V8 Supercars Championship.[1]
In June 2014, it was announced the team had been formed with backing from Tony Lentino and Andrew Hiskens.[2][3]
The team debuted at the 2014 Bathurst 1000, with Ant Pedersen and Andre Heimgartner finishing 11th.[4] The team raced a Ford Falcon FG leased from and prepared by Prodrive Racing Australia.[5][6]
Super Black Racing started the 2015 series with Heimgartner driving a customer Prodrive Racing Australia Falcon FG with a Racing Entitlement Contract (REC) leased from DJR Team Penske.[7] A few rounds into the 2015 V8 Supercars season, Super Black Racing upgraded to the new Ford FG X Falcon. After driving in the last two rounds in 2015, Chris Pither will drive the car in 2016. With DJR Team Penske taking back its REC, Super Black purchased one from Walkinshaw Racing.[8]
The team (with help from MW Motorsport) also ran a Falcon FG for Simon Evans in the 2015 Development Series.
The team races with number 111, in memory of Mark Porter.
