Poll: 2012 Retro Liveries

After running Tru-Blu colours at last year’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, Dick Johnson Racing is once again paying tribute to its past.

James Moffat and Alex Davison ran the car with the colour and number change in 2012, to finish 10th, whereas this year it will be the combination of Chaz Mostert and Dale Wood to reprise the Greens’-Tuf colours, unveiled at the Mountain this morning.

DJR teammates Tim Blanchard/Ash Walsh run a revised Advam livery.

Fujitsu GRM has announced a chrome livery for Bathurst, to celebrate 50 years in the sport, on the Scott McLaughlin/Jack Perkins #33 Commodore.

And two Erebus Motorsport V8 Mercs have an amended livery for the remainder of the season, so you’ll see Maro Engel/Steve Johnson with the tattoo inspired paint job and Tim Slade/Andrew Thompson in the lighter blue, which also ran at the Wilson Security Sandown 500.

However, there were plenty of retro liveries last year, paying homage to 50 years at Mount Panorama.

Which was your favourite in 2012?

Vote on your favourite retro livery from 2012, a year many teams acknowledged the history of the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, 50 years on from the race’s beginning. 

This year's event begins tomorrow at Mount Panorama.
