There are quite a few retro liveries appearing at the weekend with it being the 50th anniversary of the first Great Race.

FPR:
Bottle-O:
DJR Norton:

888 are going to be running the Craig Lowndes car with a Peter Brock-style livery as well. A few others teams have made smaller changes for the race as a tribute to the anniverary.

[AMD87]

Mantaray would be interested to hear when you get back the rough costs involved, same with other people that have went.

Keep saying ill go but never do.

[Rude-boy]

Reading this makes me want to head into the loft and pull out the couple of copies of Hardy's Heros I'm sure are still up there

[IainW]

The Brock tribute livery. Shame they had to swap the Marlboro logo around on the bonnet so it didn't contravene anti-smoking laws.

I'm still no closer o finding somewhere to watch this! Tried google but can't find anything that looks certain to work.... Help!

[IainW]

This worked when I last used it. Currently watching some news stories on it. http://www.v8supercars.com.au/liveapp/

You've just got to find an Aussie postcode and phone number from somewhere.

[IainW]

Well the live timing and the tracker is working so far. Let's hope the live video works on Friday for the qualifying.

[mantaray]

Well the excitment is building here! They have reports and interviews on nearly all radio and tv stations here, just cant imagine this sort of coverage for a motor race event at home , they really seem to know how to build up the excitment.
Weather looks good too, was 30 plus here yesterday ! !

That time of year to link this again

Without checking through the whole thread. What time does this start in the UK?

[Norbury90]

I think the live youtube stream is meant to start at midnight on saturday into sunday. Could be an hour either side of that though, it's a guess. I'm going to try to watch as much as I can before I conk out on the sofa.

Brilliant. Worth it just to hear Jimmy Richards call the fans "a pack of aholes" again. They show that unedited, yet they blur out all the Marlboro and Winfield logos?!

I'll try and watch it and push through to the F1. Then go sleep for the rest of Sunday.
