MSR teases Townsville livery, announces new sponsor

Matt Stone Racing has teased a new livery for Cameron Hill’s Chevrolet Camaro, which will carry Personalised Plates Queensland colours at the NTI Townsville 500.

Personalised Plates Queensland will take naming rights on Hill’s Camaro for next weekend’s event in Townsville. Hill will run in ‘Team PPQ’ colours in Townsville, with the covers to come off the livery on Tuesday.

The Canberran has previously carried Tyrepower (Bathurst and Melbourne), Supaglass (Taupō and Perth) and Dabble (Darwin) colours in 2024.

Last week, MSR revealed SP Tools will also back Hill's car for upcoming marquee events.

“We’re proud to be supporting a Queensland team in a Queensland race this year to mark our continued commitment to motorsport,” PPQ General Manager Joshua Lee said.

“Like a personalised plate, the team behind Matt Stone Racing is one of a kind. It’s an honour to be welcomed to the family and we can’t wait to be involved in the Supercar action in Townsville with a PPQ activation at their garage.”

Team owner Stone added: “Having come from a family of car enthusiasts, and having personalised plates in our arsenal already, it’s great to have an iconic Queensland brand to come on board and support our racing.

“Coming off the back of a double top 10 result in Darwin, and rolling into Townsville where we had great pace last year in qualifying, we’re really excited to see if we can put it all together and get on the podium in our home state.”

Hill is 16th in the championship heading to Townsville, with teammate Nick Percat jumping to fourth in Darwin.
