Some very strong combinations with at least a dozen genuine contenders IMO.

In my view the enduro contenders are:
Top ten (not in any particular order) Whincup/Dumbrell Courtney/McConville Winterbottom/Richards Holdsworth/Baird Bright/Jones W Davison/McIntyre Tander/Percat Lowndes/Luff Reynolds/Canto Van Gisbergen/Youlden Dark horses/Outside chance Caruso/Perkins Slade/Thompson R Kelly/Russell Murphy/O Kelly Coulthard/Besnard Moffat/A Davison Webb/McLaughlin |

I see v8 supercars have released a new bathurst track map today re-naming Peter Brock Skyline to Dick Smith skyline
that will upset a few people in the 50th running of the race |

The problem with 'retro' colourschemes are severely compromised by the current sponsor logo's they obviously need to carry (take the 2010 HRT 'red rooster mobile' as an example)
For example, say the 1977 Moffat-Bond Falcon livery, its attraction was the simple and uncluttered look of it... massive Orrcon Steel & Trading Post signs all over will leave it looking very mis-matched The same if someone decides to do say a Marlboro-HDT colourscheme.... it wouldn't look right with "Vodafone" written instead would it? |
