Which car has the best Boost livery? Spoiler alert – it’s this one. It’s very odd to see Erebus without Penrite, and it’s also odd (albeit not the first time) to see Boost Mobile sponsoring two cars from different teams. Another contributor to this may be that it’s a little text heavy – perhaps it does miss the graphic CoolDrive logo which has been on the side on previous renditions. It does look a little too linear though, and perhaps a slight angling of the lines and logo might have made it look a little speedier, as can be seen on many of the other cars. Really uncomplicated, but the real beauty is obvious once the sun hits that metallic blue. The design is very simple – a thick white line along the entire side of the car, bordered some of that lighter blue. The wonderful metallic blue is back which is fantastic, and with the amount of the secondary flat light blue colour reduced on the car, the metallic blue has been able to shine through even more. Glad to see black rims too.Īfter years of driving around the back of the field in a Brad Jones Commodore, Tim Blanchard has grabbed a Mustang and immediately found some competitiveness in 2021! It was great, if not unusual, to see the familiar CoolDrive colours toward the front of the grid. I’m not sure if this style of design is a bit dated? Either way, the colour does most of the work in making it look good. It’s just a nice shade of yellow, one that doesn’t need a lot of help to make it look good.įor that reason I’m glad there are some of the red and black flashes, but not taking up too much space on the car. It’s a pleasant mainly yellow effort, with similar flashes to the R&J batteries livery. The large spike along the side from the bumper works well to fill that space on the left, but interferes with the main sponsor logo a bit on the right – kind of annoying but not the end of the world.Īs for Hazelwood’s #14, it looks as though the sponsor will change race by race, but for Bathurst it was a Dunlop Super Dealer livery. Majority white along the side suits this one well, especially with the sponsor naturally being red & black. Some nice flashes of red and white on the front lights and bumper. Some standard colours in white/red/black, placed on the car in not so ground breaking fashion, but certainly in no way ugly. Looks like R&J Batteries will be sponsoring Percat throughout 2021 in what is a pretty middle of the road livery to kick us off. Not a tonne of big surprises on the livery front, but let’s check out this seasons designs. Did the livery have anything to do with it? Unlikely, but it’s the bright yellow livery was one of the more memorable parts of Altima’s journey in Australian Motorsport.Īnother season is upon us and fingers crossed we can get through this one without interruptions. It was the most unlikely of results and would be one of just three victories a Nissan take in their seven season stint in the series. It all came together perfectly that weekend, with James Moffat leading Michael Caruso home in a Norton Hornet 1-2 finish in the first race of the weekend. While Nissan were consistently poor throughout their tenure in the V8 Supercars Championship, only cracking the top 10 a handful of times in 2013 specifically, they had a major and memorable breakthrough at Winton that year. With the livery change came some success too. It was certainly an improvement and a more distinct and unique livery to the one presented at the beginning of the season. It didn’t take long for them to make some changes to the livery though, and they moved to a new design featuring a more cleverly placed Norton logo and some thick diagonal black lines with piping that frame the logo well too. It was quite basic, but the bright yellow was enough for the two cars to stand out from the crowd (don’t forget the ekol Commodore!), especially being towards the back of the grid a lot of the time! The digital security company adorned the cars in their logos and distinct yellow and black colours, giving them the nickname the Norton Hornets.Įarly in the season the cars ran a majority yellow design, featuring just a black and white stripe along each side, as well as black roof. Whilst the Todd and Rick Kelly Nissans retained their Jack Daniel’s liveries through their switch from Commodore to Altima, their other two cars brought in a new sponsor in Norton. Whilst neither car would achieve anywhere near the success of their Ford and Holden counterparts and would leave the series within a few years, Nissan did at least bring us some memorable liveries. After decades of a two make competition, two new brands joined the series, with Mercedes-Benz entering the E63, and Nissan entering the Altima. 2013 saw some huge changes in the V8 Supercars championship.
