Prolific Australian company branches out into top flight V8s to back 2006 champion Rick Kelly at HSV.

“I'm very excited about this season and the opportunities and challenges it will provide me with,” Kelly admitted, “I have a new team-mate and new engineers which I have already developed strong relationships with. All of these new team members bring with them a wealth of experience, are extremely passionate about our goals and will play a key role in our 2008 V8 Supercar Championship campaign. We will have good consistency with running the same chassis at the start of the year, which should help us hit the ground running at Clipsal.”

Kelly's new livery follows the same layout as the team's 2007 design, but has now combined a black and silver base with fluorescent orange highlights. Opes Prime signage is present where the competition number was previously placed.

The team's second car, to be piloted by new recruit Paul Dumbrell, will be unveiled next week, and is expected to feature prominent Autobarn sponsorship.
