Erebus Motorsport unveil NASCAR inspired livery

Erebus Motorsport has unveiled a NASCAR inspired livery for the #99 Holden Commodore of Dale Wood and Chris Pither ahead of this weekend’s first Supercars Championship endurance race of 2017 at Sandown.

“I really like the car, it’s very old school and different to what we have now with its clean lines,” said Wood.

“We’ve come so far from what the car designs were and my car has some colour combinations you wouldn’t think to put on a car but with a bit of a modern touch it certainly works.”

The livery has been inspired by livery carried on the Chevrolet Lumina driven by Jimmy Ellis in the Australian NASCAR championship in the late 1990s.

“Like many, my brothers and I grew up loving V8 Touring Cars but knew little about NASCAR, and it wasn’t until we attended Calder Park Thunderdome that we understood how exciting the racing was,” Gian Gucciardo of team sponsor GB Galvanizing.
