The Erebus liveries are revealing at 10am this morning.

i voted for Nismo and Erebus. How do I vote for Volvo?

The Nismo crew are going to be good this year. It's too early to predict but, I love the racing. I wonder if the Kelly Brothers will choose home drivers for their cars or have a full host

And you'd think 7mate would cancel How I Met Your Mother, Swamp People and Tattoo Nightmares, to show a review of the just announced V8 liveries.

7 News just showed the Red Bull liveries and Whingecup speaking about the cars in 30seconds. ;)

Boy, I was way off on that one. :lol:

Anyway, Bottle-O is right up there for me with HRT, BOC & Volvo. Fantastic looking looking design. Jeld-Wen is terrible though, way to much going on with it for my liking.

Red Bull is meh. Again.

Yeah, pretty much what I expected. (I.E Almost exactly the same as last year) And just to echo what you said too about FPR, looks great but once again it's ruined by the big ass green Castrol logo slapped across the bonnet.

On that note:

Alex Buncombe set to test a Nissan Altima V8 Supercar at Sydney Motorsport Park tomorrow

I wonder if they are aware that it sticks out like a sore thumb. They are clearly paying a minimum amount to have their name there, but they evidently think their colours are more important than the overall design.

People are noticing it though so it's doing it's job.
 
Yeah, I just Googled it.

Looks like that is a launch for fans (though I expect pictures will be posted by someone, eventually). They will have a full public launch at tomorrow's test, with a "special announcement" at 12:40pm. Which has me curious, since I cannot see them giving up half a day of testing just to make a launch. Maybe they are getting full support from AMG, or have picked up a third REC (though I am doubtful of both), or some such.
 
Okay, from the brief glimpses in that video. I really like what I see.

Yeah, I don't think Castrol care particularly much.

Interested in hearing the Volvo. In an earlier press release they stated it will have a unique sounds compared to the competition.

Nevermind. Just saw the video.
 
Did they have the street car badging on them last year?
 
Both of the Erebus cars using the same livery this season I presume.
 
They are really avoiding showing the front end of the car.
 
Looks like I was wrong about Erebus running the same livery across both cars - photos on Speedcafe from the set-up at the Creek show Holdsworth has a Bandaged Bear logo in place of Citizen.
 
The Mercs look nice, it's a little dull though with 3 of 5 makes using blue as their hero colour. The Mercs should swap the blue for silver.
 
It should change to vbsc, for very blue super cars!

Yeah, I forgot to mention that Betty said on one of Facebook pages that they were the same livery with different sponsors.

Norton with black wheels is the go! Join them Volvo :p
 
Best liveries (so far):

1st - Volvo Polestar
2nd - Erebus
3rd - Rod Nash Racing
4th - HRT
5th - Dick Johnson Racing
6th - BJR
7th - Norton Nissan
8th - Jack Daniel's
9th - Schwerkolt
10th - Triple 8
11th - Dumbrell
 
Erebus also made mention of using the LED headlights from the road model to full effect. Ryan Maddison mentioned because the lighting system is easy to use and gosent use much power, they can do certain things with the lights.
