Erebus uncovers Bathurst wildcard livery

Boost Mobile Racing powered by Erebus has uncovered the wildcard livery for Greg Murphy and Richie Stanaway.

Murphy and Stanaway will share a #51 Commodore at October’s Repco Bathurst 1000.

Erebus unveiled the black-based livery at an open day at the team’s Melbourne headquarters.

Full-time Erebus drivers Brodie Kostecki and Will Brown were also in attendance.

Erebus recently announced Brown and Kostecki will remain with the team in 2023.

The Boost Mobile wildcard livery features silver ferns in tribute of the two Kiwi drivers.

Murphy and Stanaway will make their first Bathurst starts since 2014 and 2019 respectively.

They ran a similar livery in their first Winton test earlier this year.

The car will hit the track for a second test on Tuesday ahead of a third and final test on September 28.

The Commodore will also carry Shaw and Partners, Southern Cross Truck Rentals, Polaris, Camplify, Stadium Finance and Futura Trailers branding.

"It looks awesome,” four-time Bathurst winner Murphy said of the livery.

"It’s very different to what we had last year but I knew that it would change, and the print underneath looks awesome.

"The inclusion of the silver fern is a nice touch and I’m sure it’s not only appreciated by us but will also be appreciated by the Kiwi fans.

"Today’s open day is a great opportunity for us to not only see the fans and showcase our new livery, but to reward everyone who has been behind this concept from the start.

"Today is part of the journey really, it’s all been fan-driven from the very start, and we are very humbled by the support.”

Stanaway, who last raced a Supercar in 2019, echoed Murphy’s sentiments.

"I think the livery looks great and it’s awesome that we’ve been able to show it off for the first time to our supporters in real life," Stanaway said.

"I’m feeling really good heading into the next test day after what was a successful first test in June.

"Hopefully we can build on that and get straight into more advanced work after our first test was used to try and familiarise ourselves with the car."

Boost Mobile Founder Peter Adderton paid tribute to fans of the team, given the wildcard was initially slated for 2021.

"This has always been about the fans, and today is for them," Adderton said.

"Boost Mobile would like to thank Erebus, the sponsors and the fans for believing in this with us.”

The #51 is one of four wildcards for the October 6-9 Repco Bathurst 1000.
