Erebus unveils new Chiko livery in Bathurst

Erebus Motorsport has uncovered its new Chiko-backed Great Race livery for Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood, with the covered taken off the new-look car in Bathurst.

Announced after Sandown, reigning champion Kostecki and Hazelwood will tackle the Mountain with backing from iconic Australian brand Chiko.

Chiko, which is also a partner of Supercars, famously backed the Ryan McLeod/Wayne Wakefield Commodore at the 2000 Bathurst 1000, and returns on the Erebus #1 Camaro.

The new-look car, featuring the black, red and yellow of Chiko, was revealed in the Bathurst pit lane on Wednesday, a day out from the commencement of track action.

It's the third Bathurst livery to be revealed in two days, following Brad Jones Racing's Venom-inspired look and Penrite Racing's revised gold livery.

The Kostecki/Hazelwood car is among the early favourites for the win, having raced in the top three at Sandown before an electrical issue brought their day to an early end.

Tickets for the October 10-13 event are on sale now.
