Paul Weel Racing was an Australian motor racing team which competed in the V8 Supercars Championship Series between 1998 and 2008.
After some brief appearances in 1997 in minor events, Paul Weel Racing debuted in the 1998 Australian Touring Car Championship with Paul Weel driving an ex-Longhurst Racing constructed Ford EL Falcon. The year was highlighted by a ninth-place finish at the Bathurst 1000.
Unlike most other privateer teams who purchased older cars from the professional teams, Paul Weel Racing in 1999 built its own AU Falcon. A further four would be built by the end of 2002.
In 2003, Paul Weel Racing became a satellite team of Tom Walkinshaw Racing, who already ran the Holden Racing Team and K-Mart Racing. Relocating to Clayton, Victoria, an alliance was formed with Peter Brock and the team rebranded Team Brock. Two Tom Walkinshaw Racing Holden Commodore VXs were transferred along with Jason Bright. A two-car Racing Entitlement Contract (REC) was purchased from John Faulkner Racing. The team's existing one-car REC was retained and periodically leased to other drivers until sold to Perkins Engineering in 2005.
