Tekno Autosports is an Australian motor racing team, established in the 1990s initially for the motor racing activities of Stephen Webb, and later his son Jonathon Webb. The Gold Coast-based team runs a single car team in the Supercars Championship using a Holden VF Commodore chassis built by Triple Eight Race Engineering and three Melbourne-based McLaren 650S GT3s in the Australian GT Championship. The team's current Supercars driver is Will Davison, with Webb, Nathan Antunes, Elliot Barbour, Grant Denyer and Nathan Morcom making up the McLaren GT team.
In 2016, the team won both the Bathurst 12 Hour and Bathurst 1000.
Formed originally as a Porsche team running in the Australian Porsche Cup by Stephen Webb, having previously raced Kaditchas in the Australian Sports Car Championship and Ralts in the Australian Drivers' Championship. Webb raced Porsches with modest success for several seasons, moving into the Australian Nations Cup Championship, a GT based racing series later in the 1990s. Gradually as the 2000s progressed the team's emphasis shifted from Steve to Jonathon as he emerged through the ranks of Australian motor racers. Jonathon Webb joined the Australian Carrera Cup Championship when it was formed in 2003 and finished third in his best ever season in 2005.
