Triple Eight reveals Super2 liveries
Triple Eight Race Engineering has taken the covers off the two cars it will campaign in the 2021 Dunlop Super2 Series for Angelo Mouzouris and Broc Feeney.
Mouzouris returns for a second season with the team following a promising 2021 campaign, which was truncated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 19-year-old, who recorded a best finish of fourth at Sydney Motorsport Park last year, will pilot a striking pink and blue #10 VF Commodore this year.
Mouzouris' car features continued backing from major partners pitbox.io and Mantel Group, with Over The Way Wines coming onboard.
Feeney joins Triple Eight from Tickford Racing, and will run the famous #888 for his new team.
The 18-year-old's car will feature major backing from Red Bull and Boost Mobile.
Supercheap Auto, Firestar Developments and Marsh Height Safety join as partners.
Feeney, the 2019 Super3 champion, made his Super2 debut in 2020, finishing seventh in the championship.
He also partnered with James Courtney to finish 10th in last October's Bathurst 1000, which was his maiden main game start.
Triple Eight returns for a third straight season in the development series, having previously competed between 2011 and 2013.
Both drivers will be keen to impress in 2021, with a seat at the team's main game squad becoming vacant following Jamie Whincup's retirement.
"I’m really happy with how the livery turned out and I know our partners will be too... it’s certainly going to stand out on track," Mouzouris said.
"Hopefully, this year we can put on a better show with more racing on track, along with sponsor activities off the track.
"It was a tough off-season to get the funding together for 2021 but we made it, and I am even more determined to make a step forward this year.
"There were some positive learnings from last year and I know what I need to do this year to race at the front. I'd lastly like to give my thanks to Craig and Lara Lowndes for supporting me throughout last year and now moving forward into this year.
"Together with the Super2 team I'm looking forward to having a real crack.”
Feeney added: "To see ‘Feeney’ under the number 888 with Red Bull, Boost Mobile and Supercheap Auto as the sponsors is just surreal to me.
"I can't wait to see it hit the track and to finally share it with the public.
"Growing up as a kid in sport, you dream of one day being associated with Red Bull, so to have them on my car, suit and helmet is a dream come true for me and an opportunity that I look to capitalise on.
"To continue my partnership with Boost Mobile Australia is unreal.
"I've been working with Boost for nearly two years now, starting from a sticker on my helmet, to driving in the Bathurst 1000 and now to supporting my 2021 Super2 program.
"It has felt like forever after ending the season at Bathurst last year, but I have spent my time preparing the best way I can to return to Bathurst for the season opener.
"I have plenty of miles now at Bathurst and I can't wait to kick the season off. It has been four months waiting, but I'm ready to go racing now."
The duo will commence their 2021 campaigns at the Repco Mt Panorama 500. Tickets are on sale now.
