The first time that the Toll HSV Dealer Team has started a season with two brand new cars bodes well for the reigning Drivers’ and Teams’ champions, with shaper lines adding to the more aggressive profile of the Holden VE – the Toll HSVDT have perfectly presented themselves as race winners for 2007.
Britek Motorsport also took the opportunity to update its designs for 2007. Jason Bright’s return to his own team has been met with a new look #25 Fujitsu Falcon, with a sky blue and blood-red design. New teammate Alan Gurr will drive an IRWIN Industrial Tools BFII Falcon this year, with a similar design to Bright’s albeit with a deeper blue.
Finally, Team Sirromet Wines has made a surprise move to invert its colours for 2007, with a predominantly white livery being used by the team’s two cars in 2007. The orange “BWS” bonnet remains, whilst Sirromet logos will be black – a clever move to distinguish the operation from teams with similar paints in 2006.
Hot news!
Stone Brothers Racing appears certain to use matching designs for its two cars in 2007. Russell Ingall’s Caltex Falcon will have Vortex 98 signage with the traditional red, teal and white colour scheme, whilst James Courtney’s Falcon will sport Jeld-Wen’s blue and gold hues.
For many years now, both SBR Falcons have been separately sponsored, but 2007 appears likely to be the first time that each Falcon has sported similar designs.
The Holden Racing Team has also been keeping information about its 2007 livery tightly under-wraps, however photos that circulated the internet recently, indicated a Holden Commodore painted in day-glo red, black and white with the HRT lion and helmet logo.
However it remains strictly unconfirmed whether this is the real livery. The images seemingly showed that the car in question was a show car, and may not be the final design.
The only teams that are yet to officially launch or release pictures of their 2007 cars include the Holden Racing Team, Stone Brothers Racing, WPS Racing, Garry Rogers Motorsport and the Autobarn Race Team.
