XFORCE Team Visit Sydney Motorsport Park SuperSprint

Eastern Creek was transformed into a choir of exhaust noise as the V8 Supercars returned to Sydney Motorsport Park for another year. XFORCE was down on the ground to show our local dealers what goes on and check out Team TEKNO’s V8 Supercar, sponsored by XFORCE.

Bruno from Carline Mufflers, one of Australia’s largest XFORCE suppliers and partners was out and about, from the pits to the grid, taking in the whole experience and spending some valuable time with the XFORCE team.

One of our most recent partners Wayne Graphos from Proex also came down to see how we operate, and mingle with some of Australia’s fastest drivers. Including Darren Morgan, XFORCE brand ambassador and top fuel dragster who came along to check out the action. “We are very pleased to announce the partnership with Proex as a national distributor and Carline (Proex’s national retail partner) to join the Xforce family and strengthen our already very strong distribution channel. Carline will offer many advantages to our loyal supporters including national warranty and a full after sales care program amongst other benefits. We look forward to working with this iconic group in the future” said Tom Wallace, General Manager of XFORCE Performance Exhaust.

A quick look at the exhaust components before race time, and it was back to the grandstand to watch the race unfold, Shane van Gisbergen putting on an impressive performance over the weekend.

TEKNO are great partners and always happy to show us what goes on behind the scenes, taking time out from running a competitive V8 Supercar to show us what goes into this amazing vehicle. We greatly appreciate the team making us fell welcome whenever we visit, a big thank you guys!

Sarah was not far from the TEKNO Performance stand throughout the weekend. XFORCE exhausts are one of the many quality parts used by TEKNO for their signature power packs and Sarah was on hand to answer any questions about the systems.

Here at XFORCE enjoy spending time with our partners in new and exciting environments, providing a chance to mingle with one another and see what exciting plans XFORCE has been working on for the future.
