Team Valvoline GRM wildcard livery unveiled
GRM Camaro to carry HDT branding at the Mountain
Track action commences on Thursday October 8
Garry Rogers Motorsport has unveiled its Team Valvoline GRM Bathurst 1000 wildcard livery, which will carry Holden Dealer Team branding at Mount Panorama.
The iconic HDT brand will support GRM's Camaro, which will be steered by James Moffat and Nathan Herne at the October 8-11 event.
HDT is synonymous with Bathurst, being raced to nine victories, eight of which came at the hands of the legendary, late Peter Brock.
The HDT brand was recently purchased by two-time Bathurst 12 Hour winner Kenny Habul, with an announcement on the HDT brand's future plans to be made on the October 12.
The GRM livery was revealed on renders ahead of the team's Winton test day programme. In the lead-up to the race, the livery has been applied, with team members posing with the car and GRM's 2000 Bathurst-winning Commodore.
Valvoline, Repco, Anthem Workwear, GT Radial, Advanced Aquarium Technologies, TFH Hire, BlueGold Industries and HCC Distributions will also support the entry.
“Growing up in the 1970s you either loved Brock or Moffat. In my case it was Brock and it was because of how cool the HDT logo was," GRM Director Barry Rogers said.
"I remember drawing pictures of race cars at kindergarten, all adorned with the HDT logo. I am tremendously proud, as I know that Dad would be to have HDT supporting GRM at Bathurst”.
A HDT spokesperson added: “HDT and Garry Rogers Motorsport are two great Australian motorsport names with enormous history at Mount Panorama.
"Bringing the brands together for the Repco Bathurst 1000 feels incredibly fitting, and we’re proud to be part of GRM’s wildcard campaign at Australia’s greatest race."
On-track action at Bathurst begins on Thursday October 8.
