GEOFFREY FROUDE: Well Microsoft have the Xboned (X-Box One Forza 5 Entry) Now Sony has a PS4 Gran Turismo 6 Entry. Joining with Nissan not to win Bathurst and upset the main stay but to put a feather in the death that will be the Microsoft Holden V8.

MICHAELA LANEYRIE: I like black, red and yellow for the best local radio station! The red covers Holden too. Blue writing because blue is a Bathurst colour for a lot of sporting teams and my kids school and too cover Ford too.

TREVOR COLLETT: I think its pretty self-explanatory; its obviously AWESOME! I'm sure you'll agree. I was going to draw some birds in the sky but they were too hard. You needed to add brown, pink and maybe grey to the colour palate. Keep up the good work at the Advocate!

AARON ANDERSON: The Livery on my v8 is pink to support Breast Cancer, and blue polkadots to support Beyond Blue and raise awareness of the two - by using a hideous bright car that's fun to look at!

FERNANDA PUEBLA: Red and yellow to promote awareness of fire starting. "Think B4 U Light" is important for everyone whether you smoke or just enjoy lighting BBQ's.  Protect our wildlife.  And besides....Red goes faster!!  I would be honoured to receive these tickets. I haven't been for a few years due to lack of money. Either way - GO HOLDEN!

SAM DWYER: I have based my livery on a thunder and lightning theme. Because when I'm at the track nothing beats the sound of 28 V8 Supercars Thundering around the top of the mountain.
