One of the most relaxed drivers in the field, Paul Morris is very much a touring car veteran.

After initially starting in Formula Ford racing, he made his Bathurst debut in a Toyota Corolla in 1991 and began racing BMWs full-time in 1992, an association that would continue for the next eight years in Group A and Super Touring.

A two-time Super Touring champion, Morris took his career to America in 1998 racing Indy Lights before returning to establish his own Paul Morris Motorsports operation on the Gold Coast.

His team debuted in V8 Supercar racing in 2000, initially with backing from Big Kev cleaning products, before switching to the family Sirromet Wine brand

A winner at Calder in 2001, results had been a little lean for Morris, but found re-newed motivation when both Supercheap Auto and new team-mate in Russell Ingall came on board. Morris retired from full-time V8 Supercar racing at the end of 2008 but has since raced at the 2009 enduros and a one-off drive at Yas Marina Circuit to replace the absent Greg Murphy.

Since his full-time retirement, the ‘Dude’ has also dabbled in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series over the past two seasons.
