New look at Britek in 2008

Britek Motorsport, the motor sports operation that campaigns both the Fujitsu Racing and IRWIN Racing teams in the V8 Supercar Championship Series has thrown the covers off an all-new look for 2008.
The Fujitsu Racing Ford will again be driven by Managing Director of Britek Motorsport Jason Bright, while Marcus Marshall climbs aboard the IRWIN Racing Falcon as part of a two-year agreement with the team.

It will be a totally fresh look for the #25 Fujitsu Racing entry, with the primary colours being sky blue and white, along with fluorescent orange markings.

“Fujitsu General is once again happy to be onboard with Jason Bright and Britek Motorsport for 2008,” said Philip Perham General Manager Sales and Marketing Fujitsu General.

“With a fresh new livery design for the car and team and with the experiences gained over the past few seasons, we are looking forward to a successful year on the track.

“During 2007 the team showed a lot of promise without tasting any real success. Hopefully with a little luck this promise can be turned into some on-track results in 2008!!”

The IRWIN Racing Falcon is a totally different design, with corporate navy blue paint and fluorescent yellow decals the dominant feature.

“We are delighted with the look of the 08 IRWIN Racing Falcon,” said Nick Pritchard Managing Director of Irwin Industrial Tools Australia and New Zealand.

“IRWIN has made a commitment through to the end of 2009 with this program and with the new look and new driver in Marcus Marshall, we are sure to get some great benefits from our V8 Supercar programme.

“Britek Motorsport has been first-class in their approach to the 2008 season and we can’t wait to hit the track in Adelaide.”

Managing Director of Britek Motorsport Jason Bright was delighted with the fresh new look for 2008.

“Both cars look really good, it’s a really good result for of Fujitsu General and IRWIN Industrial Tools,” said Bright.

“We have been able to clearly identify our two corporate backers and give them each their own identity.

“The Fujitsu General colour scheme has changed quite a lot since last year and we believe it will look outstanding on the track. One of the big changes has been the removal of the car number from the doors and their reposition in the rear windows. This has allowed us to make full use of the doors as well as the front and rear panels.

“The IRWIN Industrial Tools scheme closely mirrors their entry in NASCAR and we have been able to incorporate the #26 like the US model.”

“We have also clearly identified both cars as Ford entries, with blue being the dominant colour.”

The unveiling of the colour schemes kicks-off three solid weeks of preparation ahead of the opening race on the streets of Adelaide on February 21-24.

“We have launches, photo and media sessions, plus a very important test at Winton Motor Raceway on Tuesday 12 February,” said Bright.

“Our goals for 2008 include running the Fujitsu entry in the top-10 consistently and bringing the IRWIN car into the top half of the field.

“The competition is extremely tough and for us to achieve our goals we will really have to earn it.

“As an organisation Britek Motorsport is prepared to give it everything and I’m sure we can really turn some heads this year.”
