W ELCOME TO
THE INSIDE LINE
Welcome to the 2021 racing season, and the latest edition of the Inside Line. Here at Doric, we have a proud history in motorsport circles over the past 17 years, along the way forming some great long-term relationships with some of the biggest names in the industry. Since our first sponsorship foray in 2004, we have participated in over 2,000 Supercars, Super2, Superbike, Supersport, Touring Car Masters and GT races, with hundreds of wins and podium finishes to show for it. In 2021, our racing family continues to evolve, with some great new partnerships. Over the past 11 years, Will Davison has represented us at the very pinnacle of Supercars competition, including on the top step of the Bathurst 1000 podium. Will comes from one of the great Australian motorsport families; he lives and breathes the sport. This year Will returns home to Dick Johnson Racing, reuniting with the squad where he made his full-time debut in the class and claimed his first-ever race wins. Joining Will at DJR is Anton de Pasquale, a star in the making who has already made his presence felt in the category. They are an exciting combo, especially so now that they are both in premium equipment. Partnering with Dick Johnson Racing is an honour, the team have so much history and remain the benchmark others have to beat.
Our love of racing extends beyond four wheels, so the opportunity to be involved with second-generation racer Oli Bayliss, Mike Jones, and the DesmoSport Ducati squad is thrilling. Oli is making waves following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Troy, while Mike claimed the 2019 Australian Superbike Championship in the final race of the season for the team, which was a just reward for an incredible year in the saddle. Meanwhile, we are also honoured to be supporting the next generation of racing superstars via Hunter McElrea. After proving his ability in the formative classes in Australia, Hunter has taken North America by storm, setting up what will no doubt be an incredible career. So why motorsport? Unlike any other, here in motorsport, we can totally immerse ourselves in the action and join in on the excitement at close quarters throughout both Australia and New Zealand. Motorsport is much more than a branding exercise; the fans are passionate like no others, and the relationships we’ve developed over the years with our ambassadors and clients are second-to-none. Thank you for your patronage and ongoing support, we hope you have a great day here trackside. Tom Arciuli
