    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:

    Will Davison and Mark Winterbottom will carry twin liveries modelled on Allan Moffat and Colin Bond’s famous one-two victory in 1977, while David Reynolds will carry a Harry Firth and Fred Gibson’s race-winning design from 1967:
