what happened to the black ozemail car ?
most would have noticed JB running around at the GP in the same coloured car as Jones.
why is this ? Have they gone away from their excellent idea of running two colours for easy identification for the year or dont they have the black car prepared in time for the GP. Not a major drama just curious thats all. I prefer their black and white scheme. |

It would be a big hassle for the team to carry spare spoilers and panels in both colours. I think it was just easier for the team to have both cars the same

Hopefully Brad Jones will once again grace us with his presence here soon and let us know.

I think they realised the black one looked like poo.

actually I liked the black one better than the white one , I guess no one really knows the answer except for the ozemail boys , best answer so far is the carrying of spares , makes sense when you think about it

It also makes sense for a team to wear the same colours...Now, if only FPR would take notice!

Also another reason could be to do with the Ozemail corporate colours. I don't think I have seen the Black being used anywhere except for on JB's Falcon.

The logos stand out a lot more on the white car, so Ozemail should be happier.

The two white cars look better from a single image presentation point of view. The branding certainly stands out better on the white car, especially with the enormous number of black cars in the field this season.
I will admit it was odd to see Mr Bowe in the white car at a sprint round, even the on course commentators got the car that lost the wheel incorrect  .

This was discussed elsewhere. The bell on the hub collapsed, and the wheel untightened itself. It is a rare failure.

Or both sponsors discover backing someone like SBR will get them way more coverage, and way better race results than currently being delivered!

Or give SBR 4 same-liveried cars! Caterpillar, Caltex, Pirtek and Ford Credit each take a corner....

Come on guys, the black car is still there, it's just under the white paint.
Hopefully blueprint is right and the black is back. |

why has there still been no official anouncement of ozemails resigning? they were out of contract so surely there should have been another release on the matter when they resigned...
