There has been a lot of internet discussion over these retro colour schemes. In my opinion, the Tru-Blu and Moffat Ford Dealers schemes look good, although I'd have liked for Steve Johnson to have the #17 Tru-Blu scheme, and James Moffat the Moffat Ford Dealers scheme.
As for those Holden versions, I have to assume for copyright/and/or anti-tobacco sponsorship reasons, Triple-8 couldn't do an exact replica of the HDT Marlboro colours, but its still WAY better than that Kelly Bros scheme. What happened there? Did they actually look at the paint scheme they were replicating, or just work from memory? You'd never guess this is what they were trying to replicate!
I am a little confused, yes its the 50th race at Bathurst, but Australian media is pushing this as the 50th Bathurst 1000, but that will not be until 2016, also its the 53rd running of the Great Race at both venues.I understand the sentiment, just wish people get the right information.

What has marketing got to do with reality/truth? I'm sure there'll be another 50th in 2016, why have one slice of cake when you can have two!
