WELCOME FROM HI-TEC OILS
It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the 2024 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour. Since 2016, Hi-Tec Oils has been sponsoring the Bathurst 6 Hour, however its origins reach much further back. The first ever motor racing meeting was held here over Easter in 1938.
The Bathurst 6 Hour brings together teams spread across an array of classes, makes and models. If you are motorsport enthusiast like me, you know it’s the best endurance race in the Aussie calendar. Hi-Tec Oils is proud to be associated with the event.
Hi-Tec Oils has had a long association with motorsport and has been involved with sponsoring all levels, from community go-karts through to V8 supercars. We are currently the naming right sponsors with Drifting Australia Allstars as well as the exciting new Hi-Tec Oils Super Series, a national level motor racing series that caters for motor racing categories from all over Australia.
Motor sponsorship aligns very much with the Hi-Tec Oil business. We’re a family run, Australian owned business that manufactures automotive oils, greases, batteries, filters and even windscreen wipers. Our products are Engineered to Perform. I hope you enjoy a fun, safe and successful Bathurst 6 hour. I look forward to seeing you around the track!
