PawPatrolracing Australia

PawPatrolracing Australia was a racing team that was owned and operated by the American PawPatrolracing, with the leaders Ace and Kevin. Following the new ownership, Austin has announced that PawPatrolracing Australia will be revived in 2019, financed under the American PawPatrolracing parent company, with Austin maintaining ownership of the Australian division of PawPatrolracing Motorsports. During the COVID-19 pandemic however, PawPatrolracing Australia had reported losses each quarter and in July 2022, they had decided to wind-up the team and had laid off the entire division on 20 July 2022.

## History

### Beginnings in Australia (October 2017 - April 2018)

PawPatrolracing entered the Australia market in October 2017. PawPatrolracing Australia focused on mainly Australian car races.

### Decline of Parent Company (April 2018)

PawPatrolracing Australia had gone generally well up until the sudden decline of PawPatrolracing in the United States.

### Closure (May 2018)

On 8 May 2018, PawPatrolracing planned to close forever but because Austin had saved the company from going in to history, PawPatrolracing were placed under administration, which unfortunately caused PawPatrolracing Australia and all other international countries to sell all the PawPatrolracing offices. Australia had 4 offices at its peak, which were all bought out by Sam Wilkes Jr. to expand his VIP Office. Out of the four he bought out, one of the former PawPatrolracing Queensland offices will reopen and become the first of the three offices to open in January 2019. The other former office in Queensland was sold and the other two located in New South Wales (1 office) and Victoria (1 office) have also been sold.

PawPatrolracing had two offices in Queensland, one in New South Wales and one in Victoria.

### Potential Return (2018 - 2019)

Austin & Ryder have intentions to bring PawPatrolracing back in to the Australian market. The owners have said that they'll return the team back to Australia in to 2019. On 22 October 2018, Austin has announced that PawPatrolracing will return to the Australian market in January 2019. The Australian company launched on 7 January 2019 at 9:00AM local time across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, as Austin promised back in October. More regional offices are announced and will plan to open throughout the next 3 years (more to open between 2019 - 2023). The revival will focus towards Australian car racing.

In 2020, PawPatrolracing Australia will become new owners of the Ford Falcon FG X and Ford Mustang GT owned by "The School Days racing" which will dissolve in to PawPatrolracing Australia at the end of the year. They claimed their fleet right at the end of 2019.

### Pandemic Closure (2020)

PawPatrolracing Australia had remained closed from March 2020 to August 2020. The Australian division reopened with COVID safe measures in September 2020.

### Recovery and Final Shutdown (2021 - 2022)

PawPatrolracing Australia closed in Victoria in late September 2020 and in New South Wales in January 2021. PawPatrolracing Australia remained open in Queensland since September 2020, briefly closing in July 2021 and September 2021 before reopening again and to this day, Queensland remains the only state to have PawPatrolracing Australia remaining open and also the first state to mandate vaccinations for ALL employees. PawPatrolracing Australia reopened in New South Wales in May 2021 but again closed in November 2021 and reopened by March 2022. In Victoria, a new PawPatrolracing Australia office opened on May 9, 2022. In July, PawPatrolracing Australia made the decision to wind-up the team and by 20 July, closed down altogether.

### Revival

PawPatrolracing Australia was finally revealed in January 2019. In October 2018, Austin revealed the logo to all PawPatrolracing employees of the parent company. The new font was introduced to match the American counterpart but has included the Australia flag text pattern over the PawPatrolracing text with "Australia" in red. In May 2019, Austin revealed the new PawPatrolracing Australia logo. This one is similar to the American PawPatrolracing LLC logo, with the blank map of Australia at the bottom right.
