While Formula 1 is at Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, the V8 Supercars will be at Mount Panorama for the fiftieth anniversary of the Bathurst 1000. And to celebrate, some of the front-running and/or best-known teams have commissioned special liveries inspired by historic designs.
James Moffat will run a replica of Dick Johnson’s famous TRU-BLU Falcon:
