2017 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship - Results and TalkTouring Cars

Looks like the rear wing design changed again and maybe the splitter.

Looks the same as the #78, from that angle. Unless I missed an aero update test.

It'll be cool seeing a couple more Nissans at the Wildcard rounds. The extra Holdens will still cancel those out though.

Nah they're the same.

Love the colour scheme on Hazelwood's car. The BJR car looks great too. Some real nice liveries in S2 this year. 👍




Edit:

Jacobson also confirmed as Bright's co-driver.

This looks incredible.

 

[Spacegoat]

suspect that Prodrive are holding out until someone like Jacobson comes good.

Seems like it. I still think they made a big mistake letting Le Brocq go.

I get the feeling that there was a bit of tension between Jacobson and Le Brocq last year. And when Prodrive couldn't offer Le Brocq a wildcard entry or two, it was incentive enough to look elsewhere.

I agree. LeBrocq won GT3 races and won the most DVS races, got a 4th at Bathurst as well. He is the better allround driver of the two. Nissan is the better fit for him.

Like I mentioned some time ago, the Altimas handle the best. It'll give both MW drivers confidence. I feel that's going to make them shine in S2.

I think Le Brocq I left because he thought that going to Nissan would mean an earlier main game birth.

Certainly a quicker route to a seat. Waiting on PRA would have been a waste.

Not a very good picture, but man that Penrite car looks like arse. Wood's car is just the same as it was for the second half of last year.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nice to see Pither get an enduro drive at least. Shame it's with Dale Wood though.

Edit:

Really liking this a lot.

Glad I didn't post the pic.

Nice. That's a race car.

Paint, yes. Car, no.

Ehh-rebus Racing?

Fair enough.

 

[TDZdave]

Did Erebus buy new cars or are they still using the dinosaur machinery from HRT as last year?

Reynolds' car is a brand new one built by Erebus themselves. As far as I know, Wood has the Walkinshaw built car that Dave used last year?

And that right there will be Wood's excuse for why Reynolds is beating him.
Seriously, Wood must have compromising pics of whoever is in control of the money at GB Galvanizing. Either that or, they're easily impressed at being a grid filler.

Will 2017 be the Year of the Boring Livery?

Certainly a quicker route to a seat.

The Kellys refuse to budge from their seats, De Silvestro has a three-year deal, and the Kellys won't give up on Caruso as he's their best performer. How does that help Le Brocq?

I'd gather Todd will go before Cam, Frosty, Mostert and Bright. There's no hope there.

He should have gone a decade ago ...

He's still faster than half the field though...

Sneak peak from Renee Gracie.

At this moment, I wouldn't welcome Volvo back. They seriously had a chance at getting the title this year. Anyway, they get to display the cars. Don't know how many Supercars fans will fly to Sweden just to see them though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sucks they gave in and gave the cars back. I guess they over looked something that suddenly changed the direction of everything.

 

[Spacegoat]

Sneak peak from Renee Gracie.

Just announced that she'll be joining Jack Perkins at Image Racing.

 

[Pete05]

No way in hell they would've got those cars of me.
After the way they handled the parting of ways, they would've got what parts they were owed & that's it.

 

[LumpiestFish]

The front is a bit iffy but the rest looks pretty good

 

[05XR8]

Looks a bit like a DeWalt livery. I don't mind it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

More Matte finish vinyl.

Edit: Frosty's ride.

Not a fan of that at all, the white doesn't work for me. Green wheels are cool though.

 

[05XR8]

No official Ford stickers on it. Just the dealership. Wonder if they'll keep the green wheels this time.

I'm half looking forward to the #6 design. Maybe silver, green & black this time?
