Sieders Racing Team is a family-owned and -run Australian Touring Car, Sports Car and Truck Racing team that has competed in various Australian motor racing series. The team's primary operation is racing a V8 Supercar Ford Falcon in the second-tier series, the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series.

The team has run over the years cars and trucks for Bill, Luke, David and Colin Sieders in a variety of series, initially Truck racing in the late 1990s, branching briefly into V8 Supercar in the guise of All-Trans Racing with the assistance of the Garry Willmington Performance initially with Bill Sieders, Luke joined shortly afterwards as did fellow truck racer John Falk. The team returned several years later via Aussie Racing Cars and the short lived Lotus Trophy as David and Colin began their careers.

The team subsequently secured a wildcard entry for the 2009 L&H 500 and 2009 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. After initially planning for Colin to co-drive with David, Colin stepped aside due to forthcoming surgery and V8 Utes series racer Andrew Fisher joined the team for the 2009 enduros. The team finished 20th and 2 laps down in the former and retired after 22 laps in the latter after the engine expired.
