theres some floating around of the IRWIN Tools Britek car

NAC · 30 Dec 2007, 06:24 (Ref:2096433)

While most of this is unofficial try looking here for possible heads up

banksie · 30 Dec 2007, 08:01 (Ref:2096440)

Irwin livery is here.

M-Kart · 30 Dec 2007, 08:44 (Ref:2096442)

The Irwin Livery looks a bit 2004 888-ish (just add the shatter on the side around a betta logo, and its quite similar). I like it more than this years though. the Red on the 2007 car (carried over from the fujitsu colour scheme) just didnt fit IMHO.

Racenut7 · 30 Dec 2007, 10:28 (Ref:2096464)

maybe the bright car might have no red on it.

db120176 · 30 Dec 2007, 12:53 (Ref:2096509)

I think the 2008 projected livery is pretty much a copy of the Nascar version

Not sure if you have seen this

Looks like a slap some decals on the thing for the cameras

Aunt Sally · 30 Dec 2007, 22:58 (Ref:2096810)

Yeah.. Looks like a PR exercise!

We know they were advertising for a signwriter recently, let's hope he (or she) has a little more creative flair

The 'sprint cup' cars don't seem the prettiest of things...

Pro Racer · 31 Dec 2007, 01:59 (Ref:2096874)

i hope to see abit of the following, JDR i hope they put a little more white on, Tasman desent Rockstar livery to finish the year so with more time maybe a really nice one, HRT hopefully they ditch atleast some of the black and add somemore white, go back to either 2005 or 03 as they were my favourites, 888 ditch the chrome and go for a nice pearl silver.

Yep, there is noting pretty about them at all. I think those yanks need to lift some of those restrictions to allow them to at least get close to modern day vehicles.

agosling · 31 Dec 2007, 04:10 (Ref:2096904)

The Irwin paint job is pretty disappointing, hopefully they will have a bit more of a think about it before they roll it out.

so its called branding, look at vodaphone the different teams internationally all have similar paint jobs to ensure that they are all associated with the brand. After all its the company paying to have their logos on the side so why shouldn't they decide what they look like.

The irwin car is also similar to the Super Cup car.

I like it, they have gone away from all the busy liveries and gone basic.

And once again it shows how crap the number in the window is.

Doesn't matter if they're pretty. They are TANKS. Smacked the wall at Darlington, totally messed up the old cars, these ones just keep going.

I quite like the livery.

Yea I got that they are tanks and have to be built like one but my point being to at least have it looking like it is a car you can go out in the modern maket an buy a vehicle that looks similar (like a V8 Supertaxi)

Can yo buy a new vehicle that actually looks like that sprint cup car?

Matt · 6 Jan 2008, 00:05 (Ref:2100396)

Nope, but, as noted in the first few races, the cars when viewed from the front, look a LOT more like the road going models, than the previous cars.

Chatters · 6 Jan 2008, 03:04 (Ref:2100433)

But still bear absolutely nothing in common with their road-going counterparts, apart from their sticker headlights...!

Pro Racer · 6 Jan 2008, 10:59 (Ref:2100523)

while V8's do use Headlights, tailightd, mirror's and a few panels they are still a fairway from their road going counterparts, but are still way better than NASCAR, Top Door Slammers and NASCAR are about the same in their relevence to their road going counterparts.

Prickly_Goo · 6 Jan 2008, 11:08 (Ref:2100531)

I think the Irwin Racing livery is a bit plain compared to 2007, but as long as they are safe for the drivers does it really matter how pretty it looks?

I wouldnt be surprised if Britek approached Biggy G about his Fujitsu Livery..

Phase3 · 6 Jan 2008, 11:09 (Ref:2100532)

WOA NELLY! Nascar as a sport, a specticle and a genuine competition is so far ahead of V8 supercars they shouldn't be mentioned in the same post! relevance to their road going equivalent has done what for the "sport" in Motorsport?
