Hard to ignore the Triple Eight trio, along with cars #1 and #55.

I'd put a HRT car down as a smokey.

How many entries are expected to turn out in a retro livery?

Foxtel is pushing the "retro" angle pretty hard, so you'd assume a fair few of the teams have signed up for it?

Maybe Erebus can run the second car in Plus Fitness livery just for old times sake?

Fox pushed the retro rounds for NRL and AFL pretty hard too.
All I saw on that weekend were a couple of commentators dressed in wigs with fake pornstar moustaches....

Maybe Cromley will do the same?

Or the old Ch 7 red business suit jacket.

Back on topic, be hard to pass up Triple Eight. PRA might be a little different since Frosty has a new co-driver. Walkinshaw would be a smokey.

Disappointing that Ingall wasn't signed by Team Vortex to run alongside as they'd win both the retro livery and retro driver competition

I heard that talks were advanced but stalled when Russell realised that Team Vortex didn't have a contra deal with a boat builder..

Oh how true. I worked somewhere that was his helmet visor sponsor for a time. $50k worth of gear at least.

You mean the works Holden team didn't mention the former Ford privateer?

And it arguably looks better than the regular scheme... although confusing against the revised BOC car potentially

Do you reckon Cromley and Skaife will go retro too??

Sure you could get a couple of bright red jackets on eBay!
