At the end of 1988, Philip Morris were dissatisfied with the level of signage it was offered at Nissan Motorsport and thus concluded a deal with Nissan driver Glenn Seton and his engine-builder father Barry to form a team in 1989 with a Ford Sierra RS500.

For 1992, the team again expanded to two cars for the ATCC, one for Seton and the second shared by Wayne Park and David Parsons.

At the 1992 Sandown 500 the team debuted a Ford EB Falcon with Alan Jones joining as co-driver.

In 1993 Seton and Jones finished first and second in the championship while David Parsons and Geoff Brabham won the Sandown 500.

Between 1992 and 1995, the team also won all four editions of the non-championship Winfield Triple Challenge held at Eastern Creek Raceway - three to Seton and one to Jones.
