The Bundaberg car is really nice, i think it would be better with white rims though but still awesome. Haven't seen a bad scheme yet!

No it's not. But it's a lot nicer than what I was expecting. For one, I was expecting it to have all sorts of weird colors, but for the most part, the colors fit nicely with the Pepsi Max brand. And I'm very surprised that Murphy's not running #51.

Bigger shot:
Image

And TeamVodafone's shown off their 2011 colors. And as usual, they change bugger all on it (red bonnet, and that's it). Seriously, have they made wholesale changes to their scheme since 2007?

I think it was because of how late the deal was done. Wouldn't be surprised then if any Pepsi Max merchandising has lots of #11 on it then.

Also, Jason Bargwanna will be in the #14 car, and his scheme will be unveiled between the test and Abu Dhabi as he's running a plain white car at the EC test (providing of course sponsorship's been found). Jason Bright now moves to the #8 BOC car, and here's his scheme:

I like a lot. Probably what HRT should have done.

Its not up to Murphy what number he runs. The franchise he is using is attached to the #11, as that franchise is still owned by Perkins Engineering (KR run it for him)

Maybe KR didn't want to run #51, or give up the #11. Maybe PMM didn't want to give the #51 up?

Murphy himself in the press release didn't seem to care about the number


As for the livery, i reckon its a shocker, but thats just me.

PMM couldn't give a rat's arse about the 51. If they did, they wouldn't be running #49 for Owen, and Morris and/or Perkins will probably be running #67 in the Fujitsu Series. I reckon had the deal been done earlier, Murphy would be in #51, but as it is now, I suspect it'll head to Greg Murphy Racing.

This series has the best liveries in motor racing, and the worst xD. Pepsi car is a disgrace, hopefully they will tweak it more.

The HRT and Bundaberg cars are epic.

Given the heritage of the #11 to the licence holder (Larry Perkins), it's highly unlikely that he would have wanted to see the number replaced with a driver's choice.... especially as this seat was that drivers last option he hardly could leverage a number change at them.

Can't blame Murphy for giving it up either, he's had far more success with numbers other than the #51

PMM mightn't give a rats about it, but they still own/ed the number.

Speaking of disgusting cars, here's Tim Slade's Lucky 7 Falcon. Blue, red and silver do not mix. Would go close to being the worst V8SC scheme I've ever seen.

Van Gisbergen's Bathurst scheme from last year now becomes his full time scheme for 2011:

Rear of Jonathon Webb's Mother Falcon. I like from what I see.

And the Jack Daniel's Commodores:

Interesting to see DJR trying to have the No. 1 on the car despite Courtney's exit from the team.

Very interesting indeed. Here's Moffat's car:

And it looks like a bonnet design change on the 55.

Real-life shot of the BOC car:

Front-end shot of Webb's car:

Fiore's car is the same as last year sans Bing Lee and Panasonic sponsorship, and Reindler's car is same as last year as well.
