Formed in 1990 and initially run by driver Win Percy on behalf of Tom Walkinshaw Racing, the official factory racing team of Holden has become one of the biggest success stories in Australian sport.

It hit its straps in the mid 1990's with the emergence of Craig Lowndes and the late Peter Brock before drivers such as Greg Murphy, Mark Skaife, Jason Bright and Todd Kelly helped push it to become the most successful touring car team in the country.

In 2008, reigning V8 Supercar Champion Garth Tander joined Skaife in the hot seat and with Skaife announcing his retirement at the end of that season, Will Davison joined for 2009 to continue to push the factory team forward.
Toll Holden Racing Team celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2010 and will aim to go one better after Davison and Tander finished second and third in the 2009 championship, a season which included a clean sweep of the endurance races at Phillip Island and Bathurst.

The team is also the defending Team’s Champions in the V8 Supercar Championship Series.
