Red Bull HRT unveils 2020 livery
The Brisbane-based squad is expecting the new Red Bull Holden ZB Commodores design will turn plenty of heads in 2020. The new livery retains the white and blue theme of recent years, with a sharp look featuring geometric shapes in varying shades of blue.
Seven-time Supercars Champion Jamie Whincup said he can't wait to get behind the wheel and show off the new look.
“Great to see the car for the first time today, we were lucky enough to see a sneak peek of the livery late last year but to see it in full on the Commodore, it looks fantastic!”
“We set the bar really high with our Bathurst livery last year so for the teams at Red Bull, Holden and the commercial crew here at Triple Eight to come up with something different, new and fresh they have done a remarkable job and something the fans will be keen to cheer on at the track.”
The 2020 livery reveals that team sponsors ACDelco, Caltex, GearWrench, HP, IVECO, MTAA Super, National Storage and TW Steel have all returned from last year, with the notable change being the reintroduction of Havoline.
Alongside Whincup at the unveiling was Red Bull HRT’s other lead driver, Shane van Gisbergen, as well as the team’s enduro drivers for the coming season - Craig Lowndes and Garth Tander.
After committing to a further two years of manufacturer support in 2019, which will see Holden’s sponsorship of the team through until at least the end of 2021, GM Holden Australia’s Chairman and Managing Director Kristian Aquilina says he’s looking forward to seeing plenty of Holden fans continuing their support of the factory squad this year.
"We're excited to see the covers come off the 2020 Red Bull Holden as the team look to reclaim top spot in the Supercars Championship this year.
"The team has done a fantastic job on this year's livery and we look forward to giving Holden fans plenty to cheer about at racetracks across Australia and New Zealand in 2020."
While Red Bull Holden Racing Team is the most successful team in Supercars history, they lost the Teams’ Championship to DJR Team Penske last year, as well as the driver’s title to DJR Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin for the second year in a row.
