The actual livery is a bit of a yawn.  Makes FPR's Pepsi Max livery look stunning!




The SP Tools Merc looks pretty good.

The rear wing still looks rubbish, but the Commondoors new end plate rear wing ain't much better.

Attendance figures for the weekend where 68,000. Which is more than all the other international(except NZ) races in the last 5 years ever got. So I'd call it a success. I think they just need to organise one or two more races over there while they already have the cars and equipment there

Yeah I reckon it was a success. I listen to V8 nation on podcast and it seems all the drivers liked it also.

I went and got bread from my local bakery the other morning, pulled up got out of the ute and a bike rider coming towards me, so I jumped out of the way for him and low and behold, look up and it was Jamie whincup. Lol he gave me a nod and a smile and kept on his merry way

Confirmed as using their own.

Wonder what the V8SC rule book says about racing an estate?




Remember Brocky's Ovlov...



Considering he was a crystal loving, tree hugging, vegan, a Volvo kind suited him more than a V8 Holden...
