Dylan O’Keeffe has confirmed he will return for his seventh season in the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship, with Dexion Australia and Dexion Asia Pacific extending their support of O’Keeffe’s RAM Motorsport/GWR Australia Porsche Type 992 GT3 Cup car.
O’Keeffe today unveiled a refreshed livery for his Porsche, with the predominantly bright red and white Dexion colour scheme complemented by some black highlights.
“I’m proud to have represented Dexion in Carrera Cup since 2022, and pleased to have grown the relationship,” O’Keeffe said.
“In the early stages, we were solely aligned with Dexion Victoria, but we’ve expanded our partnership to represent the Dexion brand right across the Australia and Asia Pacific region.”
O’Keeffe said Carrera Cup continues to provide an attractive platform for businesses such as Dexion, that see motorsport as a valuable marketing investment.
“Because Carrera Cup travels all over Australia, we can visit Dexion staff, customers and associates all over the country, providing them with benefits such as corporate experiences and passenger rides in the Porsche, which they love!” O’Keeffe said.
O’Keeffe also enters his fourth year as a RAM Motorsport/GWR Australia driver, and is highly-motivated to add some more silverware to the team’s trophy cabinet.
“Mike Sheargold from RAM Motorsport is one of the genuinely nice guys in motorsport, and I’m so thankful to have had his support,” O’Keeffe said.
“Garth Walden is super-passionate about his GWR race team, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. They’ve achieved amazing results across numerous motorsport categories, and I’m proud to have achieved their first Carrera Cup pole position, race win and round win… but now I want to win their first championship!
“Rob Palermo is engineering me again, which is very positive – we’ve built a strong relationship over the last two seasons, and work well together to extract optimum performance from the Porsche.”
This year’s Carrera Cup calendar is slightly different to previous seasons, with the season beginning at Sydney Motorsport Park (rather than opening at the Grand Prix, as has been the case in the recent past). Townsville and Sandown are no longer on the calendar, but The Bend is back and Carrera Cup returns to Queensland Raceway for the first time in many years.
“Overall it’s a well-balanced calendar, with a good mix of street circuits and permanent venues. I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running at Sydney Motorsport Park next weekend,” O’Keeffe concluded.
