Surprised Tickford couldn't find a sponsor for Stanaway, pretty disappointing really. The Monster car is pretty underwhelming but probably fit in with their liveries in other series around the world. Makes me wonder why they couldnt release this livery before the recent test day?

It does look last minute, but a good get as well. Car looks great.

Maybe a few last minute sponsors this year.

Are you suggesting the Nissan deals might be quite economical? Given how tough the sponsorship market is right now, that'd be understandable.

Livery looks great, and at least it seems Nissan isn't kicking the tin for the whole thing now.

Interesting to see Taskforce branding on the C pillar of the MSR car.
A condition of the REC borrow, or a signal as to the car’s enduros co-pilot?

It wouldn't be a bad combo, although doesn't Brighty have a liking to a 'different' kind of car setup than most?

Silver Chef, the owner of Go Getta dropped 33% of its value this week it made the announcement to exit the Go Getta business

Might explain the black car with surprise sponsor

He's usually pretty handy in the enduros. Much like Greg Murphy, he seems to hit his straps around Bathurst time.

Not being the lead driver, I'd suspect he'd be happy with whatever setup they land on.

It was improper for Mobil to appear on any other than a Walkinshaw Andretti United rocketship anyway, surely? Mobil is famously associated with this fabled team.

Only because Mr Brock brought Mobil to them in exchange for a race seat back in the day. The whole so g and dance about a 25 year ‘partnership’ between WP/HRT/WAU conveniently forgets the beginnings of the relationship...

Meantime, there is a Fuchs logo on the rear bumper of the Blackwoods car..

And the Mobil branding on the MSR car seens to have disappeared.

Not sure what it is about SA fuel retailers but they seem to be well organised into decent sized MSOs, offering much more than Petrol/Diesel/LPG...
