Phelps tried to make the point of PRA bringing their Supercharged Mustang road car to the masses. So, they'd want to race the same car they sell. Logical, but who knows? Maybe a Tickford Mondeo fits the Supercars formula.

He's not that great to be honest. The cars are way overdone.

I really don't get producing a series of renders of cars that we're unlikely to ever see in the series. Seems like a pretty pointless exercise.

It's a bunch of 'what ifs' really, but it also works as advertising for the man doing the renders. He does the DJRTP paint schemes and also ones for other teams, so this stuff gets his name out there.

Definitely a smart move. He gets to render anything he wants, for people to click on speedcafe and talk about it.
 
Tekno are without a primary sponsor yet, and Boost seem to have left HSV entirely. Odd times.

Boost Mobile is still with Courtney, as far as I know. I'm not sure if they've pulled sponsorship from the team though, it would be bizarre if they had.
 
Aren't they doing a rolling sponsorship?

Edit:
The new team will deliver a range of unique liveries throughout the season ontop of the launch livery.

Supercars program unaffected by Altima axing

I'm sure they'll do what the Ford teams are doing. Running the car for a year or two after the production car's removal, then replace it with something else. (if they stick around...) Or they'll just use the new car coming out soon, which if it is anything like the Vision 2.0 concept, could be interesting.
 
Bikesales livery for Todd for the next two rounds.

Nice to see all cars red & black(for the most part.
 
Lebrocq quickest in Practice 1. Plus, tyre bundles are gone, due to new kerbing.
 
Only first practice but still, it's nice to see Pye up there in the top five.
