What about a Bottle-O livery paying tribute to the original Gatorade Commodore - the first ever Supercar that was wrapped... And looked incredible.

Perhaps they could've gone back to the livery Mr Dumbrell used, to give himself and Bottle O their first win.

Which was also at Sandown.

This one

I suppose it would look to bad with a few refinements

Is it old enough, I would have though retro was older then 7 years, but it could work. I would have liked to see the first one, the 2008 RNR/D'Alberto one, its the start of the 'bottle o' era, despite being in the sport 2 years earlier

Lowndes only did three events in that '94 livery (Sandown, Bathurst and AGP), same with the similiar 1995 livery.

I'm more inclined to say it doesn't look right without Tomas Mezera running it!

Bottle O happily went retro in 2012 at Bathurst

There a great render getting around on various social media platforms of a 00 Motorsport/Green Eyed Monster tribute livery for the Monster car, it looks very very good.

Any chance of posting the image or link?
What you have posted is exactly an idea I had for #6 - a green eyed MONSTER

Its on Insta, I'll find it later, it's not official but it looks the business.

Meanwhile you can vote on your favourite livery at Sooperdooper cars.


Only problem when I looked at it the percentages added up to 118%.

That would be good to see actually, sponsors are weird though with their liveries, somehow a car with bright green wheels is better then the Green Eyed Monster, don't get me wrong I like the Bottle O car for this year, but of all colours, why go green rims

Frosty hasn't been racing with green rims, that was only for the launch was it not? The #5 has raced with black rims.

Launch, but it was still disgusting

Green rims are cool! As are blue, red, yellow, orange rims etc... especially on a racing car.

I strongly question your taste.

Black really suits in rim colour on a race car, as did blue on the Pepsi max cars, same for Red on the HRT cars, but I am not a fan of that particular green rim on the bottle o car, the gold rims looked better

Interesting to hear Alex talk about not being allowed to speak any other language rather than English over the radio. Can't see why he can't speak French to Ludo since they're both native speakers.

It'd have a lot to do with consistancy, as well as communications within the team. Other team members would take cues from messages to and from the driver, to ready and assemble in the pits as necessary.
