context_page_description: Erebus Motorsport, formerly known as Erebus Racing, is an Australian motor racing team. The team competes in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship with two Holden ZB Commodores. The team's current Supercars drivers are David Reynolds and Anton de Pasquale.
  The team is owned by Betty Klimenko and is based in Melbourne. The team launched as a GT racing team in 2011 with the team joining Supercars in 2013 following the purchase of Stone Brothers Racing. The team is best known for winning the 2017 Bathurst 1000 with David Reynolds and Luke Youlden, and also won the 2013 Bathurst 12 Hour.
context_section_description: In September 2012, Erebus Motorsport announced it was in the process of purchasing Stone Brothers Racing and would enter the 2013 International V8 Supercars Championship, competing with three Mercedes-Benz E63 W212s entered under the category's new "Car of the Future" regulations. The sale was finalised in January 2013, with the team purchasing one Racing Entitlement Contract (REC) and leasing a second from the Stone Brothers, whilst operating a third car on behalf of satellite team James Rosenberg Racing. With Shane van Gisbergen leaving the team at the end of the 2012 season, Erebus recruited former DTM driver Maro Engel as his replacement, whilst retaining Lee Holdsworth and Tim Slade in the other two cars.
  For 2014, the team scaled back to a two-car operation with the James Rosenberg Racing REC and Tim Slade both moving to Walkinshaw Racing. Will Davison replaced Maro Engel. Lee Holdsworth scored the team's first race win at Winton in April 2014.
  In 2015, Ashley Walsh replaced Lee Holdsworth as the driver for Car #4. Will Davison secured the team's second V8 Supercar race win at the 2015 Ubet Perth Super Sprint at Barbagallo Raceway. 
  The team operated from the team from the former Stone Brothers Racing premises in Yatala on the Gold Coast until the end of the 2015 season, when it moved its V8 Supercars and GT operations under one roof in Moorabbin, Melbourne. This was replaced by a new facility in Dandenong in mid-2016 after its previous facility became too small.
  David Reynolds replaced Will Davison for the 2016 Championship, with Davison moving to Tekno Autosports. Reynolds was joined by Aaren Russell with the team switching from running the E63 W212s to a pair of Holden Commodore VFs. Russell split with the team after the Townsville 400 round, and was replaced by Craig Baird for Ipswich. Shae Davies raced the teams #4 Entry for the remainder of the 2016 Season.
  For 2017, Reynolds remained with the team, while Dale Wood replaced Davies as the driver of the newly renumbered #99 Entry.  Reynolds, partnered with Luke Youlden, won the rain-affected 2017 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, while the second car of Wood - partnered by Chris Pither - finished a season-best 4th. In October 2017, Wood announced that he would no longer be continuing his full-time drive with the team into 2018. His replacement will be 2017 Dunlop Super2 Series competitor, Anton de Pasquale. In 2018, Reynolds won three races and finished fifth in the championship with de Pasquale 20th in his debut year.
  In 2019, Penrite Oil Company, a sponsor of the team since 2015, increased its sponsorship to both cars and took over title sponsorship of the team. Reynolds finished sixth in the championship and de Pasquale 14th.
