John Bowe as our newest Ranger Ambassador

Ranger’s 2023 Ambassador: Racing Legend John Bowe

We welcome John Bowe as our newest Ranger Ambassador for 2023.

After several years partnering with Bowe and McGill in the ord Falcon GT at the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour, Ranger Lifting has excited to be sponsoring Bowe in his final year in the Touring Car Masters (TCM).

The six-time TCM champion has announced that he will step back from full-season commitments following a final celebratory ‘Testimonial Tour’ this season.

The series commences in Tasmania, with subsequent rounds in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia across the balance of the six-round 2023 season.

The first stop on Bowe’s ‘TCM Testimonial Tour’ will be on February 24-26 at Symmons Plains Raceway, TAS.  Appropriately, the event will double as Bowe’s milestone 100th TCM round; the first driver to reach the century mark. He was also the first TCM driver to compete in 300 races.

We join other supporters including Apex Steel, Rare Spares, Motor Active / Mobil 1 / Meguiar’s and Astron Tech who will all continue to root for Bowe in 2023.

On top of this, Bowe will become a Ranger Ambassador. As an Ambassador, Bowe will be available at TCM events to discuss his tactics and motorsport racing history with Ranger and our clients.

Bowe will also be available to visit our branches and meet our dedicated staff and clients.
