Walkinshaw Andretti United has taken the covers off its new-look Commodores that will run under the Mobil 1 Mega Racing banner this season.
The Victorian squad has secured a deal with a new co-naming rights sponsor in Australian fuel distributor Mega Limited, which has resulted in a fresh livery for its Holdens driven by James Courtney and Scott Pye.
Pye will continue to race under #2 while Courtney returns to the #22 which has become synonymous with the team after switching to #25 for season 2018 in celebration of the 25 year anniversary of the outfit’s Mobil 1 partnership.
Kelly Racing has unveiled the Castrol Racing Nissan Altima that Rick Kelly will drive in the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. Well, a different version of his Castrol livery, now including BP (Castrol's owners) Ultimate fuel.
No official confirmation yet on the two vacant spots but the word is that it is going to be Jacobson and Heimgartner, but wont be confirmed until just before the official V8 Season media launch next week.
No release as yet of Simona's presumably still Harvey Norman livery.

Brad Jones Racing has unveiled its 2019 Freightliner Racing entry for Tim Slade
It was released with a special video.... The video features Slade and his truck driver on a remote farm uncovering his 2019 Freightliner Racing/Alliance Truck Parts Supercar in a barn, ie a Barn find.. After pulling the covers off Slade decides to let loose in the open paddocks.
It seems like he priced himself out of the market at a time when they were trying to cut costs to cover the inclusion of Lowndes. He has always had a reputation for milking contracts for what he can. A pity because I quite liked his down the line opinions and direct approach. He added a lot to the broadcasts in my opinion. Skaife and Compton might become a nightmare now.
