Website strategy, design, build and deployment on the Sitecore Digital Experience Platform (DXP) to leverage a prestigious and high investment sport sponsorship. Combining a modular component build with a content-first approach to deliver a first-class digital product.

Team Vortex was an Australian racing team that competed in the high-profile V8 Supercars race series (now Supercars Championship). The Caltex/Vortex sponsored team, accompanied by famous driver Craig Lowndes, enjoyed a strong following among motorsport enthusiasts. The sponsorship aimed to leverage Craig Lowndes' star power and the team's racing success to enhance the brand visibility and engagement of Caltex's premium fuel Vortex among mass automotive and motorsport communities.

Team Vortex faced the challenge of maximising the impact of their halo brand sponsorship with Caltex. The team wanted to create a compelling brand sponsorship campaign website that would showcase their race events, highlight the partnership with Caltex, and capitalise on Craig Lowndes' popularity. The challenge was to deliver a first-class digital product that would captivate motorsport enthusiasts, engage potential sponsors, and strengthen Caltex's association with the adrenaline-pumping world of V8 Supercars.
