The new design for Greg Murphy's Pepsi Max Commodore was unveiled earlier this week and the front of the car will be mixture of green and blue with the rear featuring red and yellow, all on a black background. It is a tribal style and the early indication from fans on the internet is that it is by far the best livery yet.
Murphy will celebrate his 400th race start in the V8 Supercars championship in the opening race of the weekend and he has come a long way since debuting in the category with Craig Lowndes at the Sandown and Bathurst endurance events in 1995 with the Holden Racing Team.
After winning the same events in 1996 with Lowndes, he took up a regular series drive in 1997 before being relegated to a part time driver again in '98 when Lowndes returned from Europe.
He left the factory outfit in 1999, joining Steven Richards at the Gibson Motorsport team in 1999 where he won his third Bathurst title before joining Kmart racing in 2001.
While there he won his fourth and fifth Bathurst crowns and also finished as runner up in the championship during that time.
Murphy hasn't enjoyed as much success in recent years with Tasman Motorsport and Paul Morris Motorsport but this year with Kelly Bros, he has showed glimpses of his old form and is desperate to be among the frontrunners in his milestone race.
Team Vodafone will also have a distinctly different look to their Commodores for the Townsville round. Gone will be the traditional orange and chrome paint scheme to be replaced by camouflage colours.
The team will attempt to raise money for the Defence Families Centre, otherwise known as Geckos, at the Lavarack Barracks in Townsville by auctioning off several panels and their matching race suits after the weekend.
To mark the occasion, Lowndes and series leader Jamie Whincup unveiled the cars earlier in the week and raced a tank against Aircraft Maintenance Engineer David French. Lowndes and Whincup both did two laps with a mid-race driver swap but were able to beat French.
Whincup was the man to beat last year, grabbing pole position in both and winning the first. He was leading the second before suffering break failure which allowed Mark Winterbottom to take the win.
The series leader had his fair share of problems in the last round at Darwin and saw his lead halved by Lowndes and several other drivers also closed the gap to the frontrunners.
Shane van Gisbergen and Rick Kelly both had success up north and will be eager to follow it up with more success in the first of three events held in Queensland this season.
Jim Beam Racing driver Steven Johnson is fifth in the series and he has stated that the team are capable of winning a second consecutive driver's title despite the departure of last year's champion James Courtney.
