If they keep the white wheels, job well done

Edit: Nope

Wait. Where did you find these & what exactly are we looking at?

White wheels work, silver doesn't

Edit: never mind, I found the story.

That should be their livery all season. Current one is bland.

The current livery, although improved since the Holden signage was changed from red to white, is bland & could be so much better.

The retro livery looks pretty cool. The thing I don't like about the normal livery is the colour. It's like a weird grape purple-y blue, when they should just the super dark matte blue from the F1 car.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I think the bigger issue is that last year's 888 was so much better at catching attention and then they reworked it for the season and it came out less exciting.

I had to go to the article to find exactly what it's supposed to represent. Much better than their regular livery definitely but still doesn't do much for me.

 

[Pete05]

I'm hoping they do another retro livery for Lowndesy.

Apologies with the link. My phone was stuffing up the copy & paste, along with the edit function.

This should be their standard livery,. With the white, it ties in with some of the other Red Bull race cars(Rall X, Super GT, etc). Should really have white wheels though.

I went over there Friday to look at a property. Lots of work done in a short time. Funny to see shops, buildings, parking areas, other parts of council work, getting done.

Gonna be testing lighting at Eastern Creek for next year - looks like they're gonna test on the full circuit. Was hoping they'd run the short one.

Get Michael Waltrip to codrive.

Looks a bit dark still.

 

[Eh Team]

Definitely could use more overheads so that in the event of crashes marshalls can see what they're doing better.

Coverage begins at 10am. So, maybe we see video of last night.
I guess in this video from last year, lights could be placed where most of the action happens.

Stanaway's S2 ride.

Stanaway's S2 ride.

So many complaining about the sparse livery. It is what it is.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Percat's livery is tops. The camera men are definitely not friends with the wind.

 

[05XR8]

Stanaway qualified 4th! Race about to start.

Matt Chada just proved why he was rejected a super license

EDIT: Stanaway P3. Good solid drive. 👍

Exactly.

I seriously hope DJRTP consider adding one or two more cars. Seriously.

Didn't see the race. What did he do this time?

Fired into Barbera at T2 decent contact. Put Barbera out

Must have been a big hit to put Barbera out.

Just read online too that Perkins is out for the weekend after suffering some mechanical damage? That sucks.

Yeah, he was last. Not like he was defending his position on the last lap. Ridiculous.

The #17 is too quick.

I ban Riana from interviewing and interviewing Wil.. for eternity...

I'd love to ban Riana Cretan point blank. She's a pain in the ass!

And that's praising her up.

Those two should get a room...oh wait

As stale as those two are, it'd be a waste anyway...
