He's not like Aunt Betty who spends a truckload of cash out of her pocket hoping to figure it out as they go along.

If it's too difficult, I wonder if supercars is about to lose a manufcturer on the grid.

Hello yellow...

Bell_End · 27 Jul 2014, 04:01 (Ref:3438572)

Looks really good in the flesh (best of the DJR retro liveries to date)

Lot to be said for the old days with simple paint jobs (Yes I realise commercial realities mean more sponsor names need to be crammed on cars these days)

**GTRMagic** · 27 Jul 2014, 09:52 (Ref:3438655)

Yellow is a difficult colour to photograph.. it seems to be mustard in some shots, buttercup in others and fluoro in others..

Gaz170 · 27 Jul 2014, 11:46 (Ref:3438716)

Definitely yellow like the 94 car, looked great today.

And the cash registers at DJR seemed to have a great day today, they got some of my money (plus the Bowden's stand outside).

Looks really good.

rich07 · 27 Jul 2014, 13:41 (Ref:3438763)

I look at the retro livery and I can definitely see the resemblance to the 94 car quite easily. They've done well.

mountainstar · 27 Jul 2014, 22:35 (Ref:3439042)

I think they should keep the livery. Looks good.

ford71 · 28 Jul 2014, 01:01 (Ref:3439084)

A big number on the door always helps make a racecar look great.
I swear thats the main difference and the 'missing piece' with what we have normally these days in V8SC

DAVID PATERSON · 28 Jul 2014, 03:23 (Ref:3439123)

I agree, it does look good, I like the number on the doors and the current sponsors retain their visibility, that's important.

I can't help wondering if they're dangling a carrot in front of Shell, trying to get the band back together...

Strong Penske history there too.

Heard Dick interviewed on the Gold Coast news tonight (recorded yesterday) when asked about the Penske "sponsorship deal" (the reporter's words, not mine) Dick responded that they are waiting for them to make a decision.

I stand corrected, I thought the IRL sponsorship went back further than that.

Either way they run both Indycar and NASCAR.

Penske was associated with Mobil (in both Indycar & NASCAR) from 1991-2010, before that Pennzoil from 1983-1990, and CAM2 and various others before then.

Shell bought Pennzoil in the mid-2000s, so there is a slight connection in there i guess.

Downoz · 14 Aug 2014, 08:09 (Ref:3444155)

Apparently whatever Penske is doing is to be announced at Bathurst. Maybe.

Relevant to any Shell sponsorship
“We expect to invest $1 billion over the next five years so we can continue to meet more than a quarter of Australia’s fuel needs efficiently and safely," said Scott Wyatt, CEO of Viva Energy.

DJR was at one point branded with 'Shell Development Australia' in the AU days, suggesting that some portion of the budget was coming from the exploration side of the Shell universe.

Wonder if the Shell brand is going to stay?

When ICI UK forced a rebranding on the local ICI Australia unit, they had a period of months to come up with the Orica brand name, and resticker every product, vehicle, building, technical spec and process across their businesses

ICI Aust was sold off by the UK parent company and Orica was born, it wasn't just a re-branding.

The technical connection with the parent was still in place, and it was paid for, as it was when they were part of the ICI family.

I can't speak for all sites, but I was working for ICI and then Orica on Botany Site at the time and there was no technical connection there that I could see, it was a parting of the ways (thanks to the removal of tariffs). Some of Botany Site was then sold off by Orica, surfactants went to Huntsman and plastics went to Kemcor (the new entity became Qenos) that was later bought by Chem China. Orica retained the Chlorine division.

The article in AA this week about DJR/Penske is bordering on laughable.

They start out suggesting that the deal is still on according to the DJR end, then talk about the Penske end saying it isnt, then the DJR end saying its legal complications slowing it down, then a source from the Penske end saying that they want the workshop but DJR said refused...

Sounds like a bunch of blokes at a pub trying to make up stuff to fill an article...

Not the first nor the last.
