It was purple on SVG's car for defending champion at Clipsal and championship leader is either pink or orange. I thought though it was for practice only as the numbers still have to be day glow in colour.

Its a good idea, but I'd rather see the champion with number 1. Its not being arrogant as SVG said he was worried about coming across as, at the end of the day if another team wants the 1 they will have to work for it

It was funny during Race 2 at Townsville, we had Scotty start the race with an orange #17 and Fabs started with a yellow #12 on their windscreens
By the end of the race Scotty had a yellow #17 and Fabs had an orange #12 on their windscreens |

Stylised numbers were cool.
Pity the teams couldn't come up with designs that were both unique, and easy to read. |

Super Tourers ran a distinct font, way back in '97.

Then V8s become an FIA Series and kept the same number regs, approved by the FIA and CAMS general regs on numbers did not apply. Teams did not "get away with liberties" as you put it - they were compliant with the regulations for the series they were running in. |

Interesting that one of the owners of Prodrive is selling/marketing new mustangs under his own name and brand. Prodrive does the same via the Tickford brand?
Info is on the Lorbeck Luxury Cars facebook page. |

It seems like the budget from Mr Le Brocq was more important than losing him for the Pirtek Cup |

Test days are for the grouped team Evaluation days are for the car/cars running them. At least they dont have to rent the track/pay for fuel/accomodation/life on the gear |

Not sure why they needed to call it an Evaluation Day, when Mr Fullwood could have been slotted into a regular test day, to sample his new mount.
