Ahead of the Melbourne 400 on the weekend, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation has confirmed Beaurepaires has taken the naming rights of the Supercars event.

The brand has held the naming rights of the event since 2019, coinciding with the Formula One (F1) Australian Grand Prix with four races across the weekend for Supercars.

Discussing the return to the partnership, Beaurepaires vice president, Scott Bennett, said: “We’re so happy to have racing return to Melbourne’s iconic Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit and are equally thrilled to be back as naming rights partner of the Supercars Melbourne 400.”

“As proud supporters of motorsport in Australia, we can’t wait to see what this year’s Formula One Australian Grand Prix and the Supercars Beaurepaires Melbourne 400 will bring,” Bennett said.

Australian Grand Prix Corporation sales and commercial general manager, Michelle Greco, said the organisation is excited to see the F1 Grand Prix return for the first time since 2019 alongside the Melbourne 400 with the support of Beaurepaires.

“We’re excited to have Beaurepaires as the official naming rights sponsor of the Supercars Beaurepaires Melbourne 400 in what is shaping up to be an incredible on-track entertainment lineup at the Formula One Heineken Australian Grand Prix 2022,” Greco said.

“Since 2019, Supercars’ Beaurepaires Melbourne 400 has brought us exhilarating on-track entertainment.

“As one of the premier homegrown motorsport categories in Australia, we’re ready to welcome Supercars back to Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit, and we know fans are too,” she said.
