The undisputed king and queen of the Australian Rally Championship, Neal Bates and Coral Taylor from Toyota Rally, are the first pairing in Australian rally history to win three consecutive championships. Neal was something of a prodigy when he first stepped into a rally car at the age of 18, and Coral has racing in her blood (her father is the rally veteran Norm Fritter).

In over 20 years of racing, their passion has never waned. They work together flawlessly under incredible pressure, and depend on the excellence of their team to be successful. After all, it's the team behind the team, from the mechanics to the engineers, managers to the sponsors, who also put in the extra effort that being a champion demands.

As Neal states "Rallying is a mix of road legal machinery, and the toughest forest roads in the country, throw into this temperatures from 5 below though to 40 plus and you have an environment that tests every single component in the car, it's good to know that we've got Caltex Havoline oils as part of our team."

We at Caltex are proud that such a powerhouse racing organisation relies on Havoline to protect their engines in every race.
