Shell Card Extends Partnership with Monochrome GT4 Australia for 2026 Season

Written by MOS Editorial Team

Published on 20 March 2026

SRO Motorsports Australia has confirmed that Shell Card will return as an official partner for the 2026 Monochrome GT4 Australia season.

The renewal solidifies a key pillar for the category as it prepares to launch its most ambitious season to date at the upcoming LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Phillip Island.

Shell Card, managed in Australia by Viva Energy, remains a strategic fit for the series, offering fuel and fleet management solutions to a paddock heavily populated by business owners and privateer teams.

Integrated Branding and Competitor Benefits

As part of the extended agreement, Shell Card’s presence will be highly visible throughout the 2026 Shannons SpeedSeries calendar:

Vehicle Branding: The Shell Card logo will feature on every car across the record-breaking 34-car Monochrome GT4 Australia grid.
On-Site Activation: Representatives will attend all Australian rounds to provide direct support and fleet management consultations to the motorsport community.
Exclusive Offers: Competitors in both GT4 Australia and GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS will continue to have access to bespoke offers on Shell fuel across a national network of over 1,600 sites.

A “Capacity” Season Opener

The partnership renewal comes at a moment of significant growth for the category.

SRO Motorsports Australia recently announced that the opening round at Phillip Island (27–29 March) has reached its 34-car capacity, a testament to the series’ rapid rise since becoming a standalone entity in 2024.

Commenting on the partnership, CEO of SRO Motorsports Australia, Ben McMellan, said: “They proved a great partner in 2025, allowing our customers to build connections and give their businesses the opportunity to fuel up with ease.”

“It’s fantastic they see the value of that and will return,” McMellan said.
