Larry Perkins - The Endurance Man

From humble beginnings driving Volkswagens and tractors on the family farm at Cowangie in north western Victoria, Larry Perkins has had an amazing 30 year career spanning a range of motorsport formulae around the globe. Round Australia car trials, Formula Vee, Formula 2, Formula One, Formula 5000, touring cars, V8 Supercars, Le Mans, solar cars, mileage marathon cars – you name it, Larry has done it all and done it well.

A true racer’s racer, aggressive, quick and fair, ‘LP’, as he is affectionately known, tells it as he sees it, like it or not, caring little for what others think and a lot about winning.
His extensive experience in the sport is highlighted by LP’s incredible capacity for meticulous, bulletproof engineering and equally as precise driving and strategy, resulting in one of the most outstanding endurance race records of the past two decades. In the Castrol Perkins camp nothing is left to chance. Larry truly is 'The Endurance Man.'

There is a lot more to the man than his six Bathurst 1000 victories.
