SACRE bleu! In a revolutionary move, Aussie knockabout Supercars team owner Garry Rogers has shunned the local market to become the first V8 boss to employ a Frenchman.

French Driver , wow! big move i reckon, good one for global publicity and additional sponsorship draw, a very nice move from them, i like it!
Theres enough young home grown talent in the field to warrant them changing their decision on up and coming drivers.

Might look for a French driver for our next Unit Racing sign up for next series too, haha

Taz Douglas for #16 at Kelly Racing - TBC

I'd say Karl Reindler in #16 considering he was driving at the end of season ride days for them.
I'd be very supprised if Taz went to Kelly Racing because from what i've heard is that he will be at LDM.

ok, cool

OP updated with new list



Owen confirmed at DJR #49

the original lockwood looked heaps better not the final design

FIRST PICS: Toll HRT reveals new livery

The Toll Holden Racing Team has unveiled its livery for the 2012 V8 Supercars Championship.



Team drivers Garth Tander and James Courtney took the covers off the factory Holden entries, complete with new gold flashes on the front and side of the Commodore VE, plus a carbon black bonnet.

The car was unveiled exclusive to the Seven Network’s 6pm news service.



Toll remains the team’s major backer, whith continued support from Holden, HSV, Mobil, UD Trucks and Rockstar Energy Drinks, who is the bonnet sponsor for the second season.

The team’s Commodores also display increased backing from Coates Hire which is located on the front quarter panels.



One notable change is the end of its long standing deal with Bridgestone. Continental Tyres has moved in as the team’s new tyre backer.

Tander remains in car #2 for the season, while Courtney will compete under the #22 after relinquishing his #1 status to TeamVodafone’s Jamie Whincup.



The unveiling of the new look is the first part of a two-stage launch strategy. Stage two will be a corporate season launch on Thursday,February 16.



Recoil's favorite sponsor is on the car, Continental Tires

FIRST PICS: Moffat’s Norton-backed Falcon

James Moffat has unveiled his new look of his #18 Norton-back Ford Falcon.



Having enjoyed personal support from Norton since 2010, the computer security software company has stepped up to become Moffat’s title sponsor.

The #18 Team Norton Ford is one of four cars in the expanded Dick Johnson Racing stable, joining Steve Johnson and Dean Fiore (Jim Beam Racing) and Steve Owen (VIP Petfoods Racing).



The car was revealed at a fan day in Sydney today, where DJR mechanics and V8 fans assembled the Falcon in front of a live audience in Parramatta’s Church Street Mall.

Moffat is thrilled with his 2012 look.

“I think the car looks really amazing and it reflects the enthusiasm that all the Norton team is feeling for the year ahead,” Moffat said.



“Naming rights sponsorship has been a natural evolution, from the time Norton started sponsoring me in the Development Series a couple of years ago. I can’t thank Norton enough for their support and commitment.”

Matthew Drake, Senior Director for Pacific, Consumer Business Unit, Symantec says

“We are thrilled to announce the partnership between Norton and Dick Johnson Racing,” Drake said.



“This will be our fifth year supporting V8 Supercar racing, and it has proven to be an ideal platform to communicate the speed, safety and performance of Norton products.

“Norton and V8 Supercars share many similarities – both aiming for maximum performance without sacrificing safety. Consumers want to be safe from all online threats, but safety shouldn’t be at the expense of performance. V8 Supercars sponsorship is a great way to reinforce this message to fans.”

The team continues with backing from Crimsafe, Ford, Shell and Metro Ford Brisbane, while Toshiba and Mimaki join the team.



Best Ford Livery so far.

Beat me to it clarko.

best looking livery for a while. Interested to see what they do with will davo's car

Very nice HRT imo
the norton one does look cool

i like the new moffat liviery reminds me of the old cat falcon

Will davo's new bus LINK!
Almost picked this design before it came out - after looking at frostys i notice the blue around Orrocon was a bit different to the rest of the car, figured it would be orange for the TP falcon

I'm not to sure what to think of the new Voda livery
I will have to see it on track before I decide whether I like it or not.

doesnt look as good as last years

I personally think it looks a little uninspired....

There got sponsorship from Hogs Breath, now any team that has those cheer leader girls with there pink pom poms and butt short skirts n tight tops is worth watching. Even if its a commercial for steak.

Dont think that picture and quality does the livery any justice, well hoping not any way.
