Yeah, very cool that they've done both. But honestly Slade's doesn't do much for me. The Freightliner logo on the sides ruins it, imo. Just looks cheap in comparison to the CoolDrive entry.
I still don't mind it but you're right, it looks cheap in comparison to the CoolDrive entry.

I think if they'd done the same treatment below the Freightliner logo it would've looked much better. All green background where 'TRUCKS' is written with the word trucks being white, just like what they did with the Cooldrive logo and auto parts underneath. Another case of sponsors not seeing the greater good maybe?
 
Unless we’re going to get a stack of reveals in the next couple of days, it feels like there aren’t anywhere near as many retro liveries this year. Erebus will most likely do one, I think I saw Walkinshaw have said they’re wanting to do one, but I aren’t seen many others say that they’re going to.

Kelly Racing aren't doing one, 888 aren't doing one, and DJRTP aren't doing one. As far as I know anyway.
 
Irwin Racing have confirmed that they are doing one.


And it looks GREAT. Except that they probably won't keep the black wheels.

That looks like a beast. I'll give them a vote for livery of the year. Add this to the two Tickford cars and the MSR and Blanchard cars. Really well done on that #18.
 
Whoever designed the Tekno livery, absolutely nailed it. The grid might be lacking a little for retro liveries this year but aside from Slade's car, the ones that have been revealed so far, are top rate.
Also, I wonder how many took the Irwin tweet tease to mean an old Supercar livery from the SBR or Erebus Merc days?

Guilty as charged. :lol:
 
Wow Erebus looks good...Usual stuff though...Wish they could keep they wheels like that, and wish they would stop putting that CRC logo on the grille.
I wish teams would stop teasing us WITH the wheels. It brings back the early V8SC days of multiple wheel colors and styles. I hate the answer Ryan Walkinshaw gave. He said it's too expensive to repaint all the wheels to match whatever scheme they're doing.

Fans don't care about that. Spend the dang money!
 
1999 livery for WAU. Nice to see the old HRT logo again.

That's definitely the better looking of the two WAU cars. The logo on 22 kills this one.

23Red going with an interpretation again.... and it looks pretty good (from this side ;)). Makes sense when you don't really have any history I suppose.

The Scott Pye ‘HRT’ car takes the cake for me personally, incredible. The Winning Appliances logo works really well with the car.

I’ll wait an see how the Erebus car looks on track before making a proper comment on it, since I’m a not huge from the reveal photos. Just doesn’t really work so well on the ZB imo.

Too expensive when the teams are spending how much?
I don’t believe him :odd:

If the teams are worried about recovering the cost of such an exercise, auction off the special rims & buy some more new, plain-Jane, silver ones.

As you say, stop the teasing :irked:

What gets me is, they keep all the old tyres. Just leave the old paint on those and for the new/green set of tyres, put the new matching rims on those.

Oh yeah, definitely. I'm surprised by how well the Wining Appliance's logo works with that livery. Doesn't really look out of place at all.
YES YES YES This is the best livery of the year. You absolutely cannot go wrong with an old HRT livery.

That's one I've been wishing them to do that particular one for a while. Always has been one of my favorite HRT liveries.
