hsv/dt colour scheme change

[troym]

noticed a slight change on the hsvdt cars, now have black stripes on the bonnett instead of red, maybe hrt/hsv listened to the people who found it hard to pick which team it is, only slight but at least you can pick them now:cool:

They changed it for that reason that what was said Yeterday Friday

[Esses]

Still only a very minor Diff. I still found it very confusing & I'm watching an 80cm screen. Maybe HSV want to push the 4-car thing but I'm not so sure about HRT.:) It must be really hard to pick at track level, too?

I found it very difficult to tell the difference as well. It was hard whilst at the track for the GP to tell the difference. Now I've watched on TV it's still hard.
Not a fan at all.

It appears to be Holdens subtle way of saying they are still a 4 car team, even after the ownership debacle. Even Tander is lost.
He nearly entered the wrong pit bay during todays race.
But if it is good enough for the Ford teams to run the same engines then Holdens may as well paint their whole fleet in the same colours. Takes the gloss off things when there is basically a 2 team war. Stone Bros. verus H.R.T.

Still don't like the KRT scheme, it still looks as though the designer got halfway through and thought 'This will do'...

The Kelly / HSV cars have still got space for a sponsor on the rear flanks - if it were Mobil, then we'd all be fooled.

As they are this weekend, the duo Bridgestone signage along the sides looks amateurish, but I guess somebody in the know decided it's better to have something filling the white space.

So, why not a genuine HSV logo on the rear flanks - after all, that's who the team represent ?

I guess it all comes to how much $$$ you are willing to give a team in sponsorship & contra deals

cheers. :)

I would hope it will have the black stripes as that seems to be what will be run for most of the season.

I'd hope so too!

Seems that 888 left Biante to CC's so that they could sell models at Rnd 1 of their current cars...only trouble is the model's livery is not the same as the cars are running, but an earlier iteration:rolleyes:

You guys might be interested to know that Biante have updated the pictures to the Clipsal 500 spec for the HSV Dealer Team

Let's just hope they do not change the livery again.
