NEW LOOK FOR BATHURST UNVEILED ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

Penrite Racing has unveiled its special 2022 Repco Bathurst 1000 livery on top of Mount Panorama, today.

In front of the fans, reigning Bathurst champion Lee Holdsworth and 2017 winner David Reynolds peeled the covers of their Ford Mustang’s in the campground, before they go on the attack just metres away on the famous Mt. Panorama circuit this week.

Speaking ahead of his last Bathurst as a full-time driver, Holdsworth said: “Driving into the circuit today gave me butterflies, and to come straight up to the top of the mountain to show the fans, who make this race so special, our new colours is very cool.”

 

“The car looks great but there’s many tales of what fans have done to cars over the years up here, so hopefully the team gets mine back down to the pits safely!”

Reynolds gave his take on the new look while mixing with fans as they set up camp, “There’s nothing like this race, driving up from Melbourne I just get more and more excited the closer I was getting to the track,” he said.

“I love the sights and sounds that you only get up on top of the mountain, all their campsites are awesome and while we will keep our cars lubricated with plenty of Penrite, they will keep themselves lubricated with plenty of beverages, so we made sure we looked after them today with a big barbecue lunch.

“When you’re in the car at the end of the race and the fans are going nuts it’s so amazing. I hope we’re right up the front come Sunday afternoon with our new look to give them something to cheer for.”

 

Supercars are on track for Practice from Thursday, October 6.
