Lowndes/Richards Whincup/ Dumbrell SVG/Campbell McLaughlin/Premat Coulthard/D'Alberto In saying that though, all 5 of these drivers in recent history 15 on haven't had the best of luck, SVG was the best of the lot with 2nd last year. Frosty and Canto as well as Owen and Chaz showed the best pace but were trapped by rain last year |

WP Reinvents HSVDT 2007-Style
Does anyone else see an irony in WP celebrating the championship win of the bloke they punted after this exact race meeting last year, |

New chassis used to debut at this event too.. to get a fresh car on the grid, fully sorted, for Bathurst.... instead we keep them around until someone in Super2 wants to buy them, otherwise they become Grandpa's axe... Instead too, we get a full rewrite of history... for the purposes of creating additional interest in the newly painted/stickered chassis. It is no small expense to resticker a car, to change racesuits for drivers and crew, to change pit walling in garages for the weekend. Maybe some merchandise sales offset this for some teams.. but it is still a cost nonetheless.. It would be interesting to know whether the general public, the casual viewer, actually gets benefit through increased interest from the revised stickerage for this weekend... ...especially since in a month, it usually goes back to the regular championship season design anyway... |

GRM liveries; Tander's based on the VS he debuted with the team with in 1998 and Moffat's on his father's 1987 WTCC VL.

Is prodrive on board with the retro round?

Are teams 'encouraged' or 'obliged' to participate in retro round?

Not a lot of thought goes into it is my impression, just the want for results. Also, Bottle O, Monster and Mega don't really have a livery that's retro and would suit, maybe a FTR design for Mega, but colours for the other two don't go well if it isn't green in some form.
