Way more professional than their past scheme.

Well that's just the generic STM livery slapped on a Merc. It was at the test too;

Flat black? Looks fantastic with the green. Very cool. 👍

Agreed. When that pops up in the mirrors a few drivers will be getting nervous

Nissan Genuine Oil branding for the #24 GT-R for the 12 hour.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I like that livery.

 

[twitcher]

That is stunning

Now that the D24 is done, I'm already itching for next weekend When does the show start??

 

[RACECAR]

I'm hoping the start of this race is at a time I'm not in class, got lucky with seeing the start of the Rolex 24 towards the end via phone (before the battery died).

How did Shane Van Gisbergen go in the Daytona 24hr?

How did Shane Van Gisbergen go in the Daytona 24hr?

One of his team mates hit the wall around 5am, not sure if the car got repaired or not but that was essentially race over. He ran well, fought for the lead in changing conditions around sunset

Thanks for the update 👍

I at least knew SVG would stand up & do his bit...

Yeah, honestly I'm liking it more than the regular factory livery. Great colour scheme. 👍

How many guys are making the trip from Florida to Australia this week? Think that's quite literally half way around the world.

Unless there's anymore late additions. Ten drivers who participated in the Rolex 24 are backing up for Bathurst.

Not a bad flight from Orlano Int'l Just make sure to have an exit seat in the aisle on both planes.

I want to see IGA sponsorship on someone's car.

...why?

I mean, more sponsors the merrier but is there a particular reason?

No reason. Those liveries are so plain. May as well be sponsored by black & gold.

Nothing wrong with plain liveries. Not everything has to be complicated.

Delete Caltex stickers & add the red body colour so that it covers the roof 👍

Either way, really hoping this car wins

Those liveries. The ones @GTracer38 posted.

I like that plain STM livery over the one with all their sponsors.


Edit: Impossible. If I were a betting man, I'd sew this and quit cold turkey.

Personally, I'm really liking it now with the Caltex stickers on the side. Looks nice and clean.

Supabarn Audi looks the goods too.

Man that GTR is something!

Has anybody seen a BOP table from the SRO for Bathurst yet? I found a table created by the FIA for 2016/17 but that is just a baseline. Last year the SRO classified Bathurst and Monza in group A of their table, but I havent found that document online.
