Windscreen wiper manufacturer Trico has announced a new sponsorship of up-and-coming Supercars racing driver Cooper Murray (22).  

Murray currently competes in the Super2 Series with Eggleston Motorsport. 

He will also pilot the Triple Eight Race Engineering #888 Chevrolet Camaro alongside Craig Lowndes in the Supercar team’s wildcard program.

Murray won his debut Super2 race in 2023 before finishing fourth in the championship, including a second victory, three podiums and a pole position to close out a successful inaugural season.

His racing career began with karts at age 10, winning a pair of Australasian Championships and six state titles before graduating to car racing. 

After two seasons of racing at the national and state level in the Formula Ford category, he impressed on his debut in the Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge, taking eight wins from 17 starts and finishing second in the final series standings.

Graduating to Porsche Carrera Cup Australia in 2019, Murray claimed a hat-trick of wins in Townsville along with podium finishes, which is momentum he would take into 2020, sweeping all three races at Adelaide’s opening round before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the season to an end.

Murray was again a contender for the Porsche Carrera Cup title in 2021, earning a call-up to the global Porsche Junior Shootout, followed by the completion of evaluation days with Team 18 and Erebus Motorsport which pivoted his focus to the Supercars Championship. 

His goal is to deliver results in the remaining rounds of the 2024 Super2 Series, where he’ll be supported by his new sponsor, Trico.

“It’s a real honour to have Trico along for the ride with me in the 2024 Super2 Series. To have the support of a global brand on my car and helmet is special, and I’m looking forward to having some success on track in the year ahead.”

Trico Asia Pacific sales manager Adam Rickard says when the brand was looking to further its engagement with motorsport, Murray raced to pole position, not only for the success he is already achieving but also for the professionalism he carries with him. 

“Trico’s vision for this partnership is clear – the best wipers paired with one of the best up-and-coming racing drivers,” Rickard says.
