Prodrive Racing Australia V8 Supercars Livery Launches


A few weeks back we talked V8 Supercar launches from the leading Holden Team, Red Bull Racing Australia.
Over the past couple of weeks the leading Ford Team, Prodrive Racing Australia has unveiled their two young gun’s cars for 2016 season, both with cool launch videos
First was the Chaz Mostert, who is returning to the car after a horror crash at last years Bathurst 1000 race, where he broke his leg and wrist in a huge crash.
Mostert’s main sponsor is Supercheap Auto, an Australian Auto parts store chain.

For their launch video they took over a quarry in the northern Australian state of QLD and combined with ex V8 Supercar driver Paul “The Dude” Morris and talented stunt rider Matt Mingay
Featured in the video, as well as Chaz’s new V8 Supercar, is a Speedway car and Trophy Truck.

The second young gun and the newest driver to the Prodrive team is Cameron Walters, who only took the covers of his car this week.

Waters, who has spent the last five seasons in the Dunlop Development series, the feeder series to V8 Supercars, will feature energy drink manufacturer Monster Energy as his main sponsor for 2016. Waters’s long time sponsor Enzed is again appearing on the car.
The launch video for his reveal is below

Current Champion Mark “Frosty” Winterbotton, and the driver of the #1 Prodrive Falcon, launched his livery for 2016 just days after sealing last years championship.

There has been a slight tweak to it since then with black wheels replacing the green wheels seen at the original launch.
The Season kicks of this weekend in Adelaide, South Australia at the Clipsal 500 race.

    Love it. While it might be easy to be sad about Ford pulling all their sponsorship but there’s no love lost from Prodrive. Hopefully their package is improved over last year so that Frosty and Chaz can push each other to another (maybe Fords last) championship

      If Volvo and Nissan can campaign 5.0 liter RWD S60s and Altimas, then a monster Mondeo can’t be too hard…
      Unless Ford Australia begins importing the Taurus…
      (If they do, the car likely wouldn’t be called “Taurus”. Ford Oz tried importing the super-blobby ’96 Taurus to replace the flagging Falcon Fairmont … leading to a huge boost in Fairmont sales. Aust DM Tauruses are now genuine – and genuinely cheap – curiosities).
