The Red Bull car at the 12hr and the stickered up Erebus car are one and the same.
The car Erebus has presented to show their livery is actually the Supercars test mule, as was the Red Bull car.

Good intel LG .

Perhaps just promotional? The Red Bull car at the 12hr actually has the wheels as per Erebus:



However, MSR are running the set as per we know:

Alfa go black: Very similar to the Haas.

Williams looks great! Love the integration of the Duracell at the intake.

First Camaro livery. Looks very busy, but traditionally the Erebus cars always are. I also note that they're running the Chev badge, rather than their "e."
And is that the wrong set of wheels?

As much as I wish they'd do something different, it's actually cool to have the same livery to make direct comparison to the previous gen stang.

Shows off the new shape really well and they have tweaked it to follow the lines of the car

I agree, it's a great comparison.

Blanchard seems keen to test something that isn't yet homologated:

Good on them for getting everything ready and prepared. Hope no changes come in that will effect it too much.

4hrs straight at the end, and to finish as it did was great. Proper endurance.
I must say, the winning Merc wasn't one of the two I had pegged earlier in the day. Well done to them.

The Mostert Audi also did well to claw back for the Pro/AM win. From memory they were 3 laps down on the class leader? And to think that class included the Whincup/Stanaway/Ibrahim entry.

Pretty quiet race so far. Watching on TV, those opening laps are awesome as the sun rises.
Looking like a battle between the two Merc's and Porsche for top honours.

I must say, Rossi has been impressive. He comes with a big name so will always garner more attention, and he's done well!

here is a question- seeing as last night 3rd feb, redbull announced a partnership with ford to rebrand the redbull powertrains engine on both the alfa tauri and redbull cars from 2026 when the new regulations come in --- will that in turn require the redbull sponsorship within the supercars eg 888 be turned over to a ford team ?

Red Bull sponsor various factory teams and multitudes of athletes. Fingers in every pie type thing. I highly doubt they'll ever become a "one make only" business model. I also highly doubt anything in F1 has any impact whatsoever to a sports sedan category in Australia.

Great news for Ford and F1 though. F1 has become cool again and everyone wants to jump on it.

The profile of the car is miles better - what the Stang should've been to begin.
I'm not sold on the front end, however it may just be the livery as the Gen3 test car looked fine using only white and blue edging.

Hard to go wrong with that deep blue. Has always looked good on any shape.

+1 for Kayo. I jumped on a deal when first introduced and am on $200 a year.
$16 a month (two screens) and I watch all Supercars, F1 amongst some football and cricket. I think it's $25 a month now.

Easy to cast to a screen, otherwise most smart TV's have an app, basically how you'd use foxtel.

Launch dates as follows:

January 31 - Haas
February 3 - Red Bull
February 6 - Williams
February 7 - Alfa Romeo
February 11 - AlphaTauri
February 13 - Aston Martin
February 13 - McLaren
February 14 - Ferrari
February 15 - Mercedes
February 16 - Alpine

Am I right in saying that SMac finished 11th overall and 5th in class (2 laps behind the leader in a field of 10) after being 9 laps down at the start of the race?
I know it's 24hrs and it happened at the "better" time (start of the race), but that's still an effort.
