The Penrite team has unveiled its Australian theme for the two Holdens that will be driven by Reynolds, Anton De Pasquale, Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki in the season-ending Bathurst 1000.
It was a look Reynolds, the 2017 winner of the Peter Brock Trophy, likes.
"Seeing the Aussie flag draped alongside the Penrite logo brings back a lot of memories from 2017," Reynolds said.
"We won Bathurst as a team with the same bunch of people, so hopefully that brings back some good luck.
"I can't wait to get to Bathurst, it's a huge iconic event, and we are representing a massive Australian brand - we are the full Aussie brigade."
The team won the Bathurst 1000 with an Australian-inspired livery back in 2017 and have returned with a similar look in an effort to urge fans to support local jobs and re-stimulate the economy after the impact of COVID-19.
"Penrite have always been proud to show off their heritage, and so have we," Reynolds said.
"It's fantastic to see Penrite pushing for people to support local, there's nothing more important for our economy right now."
In addition to the national flag, the design features the strong call-to-action Are you supporting Australia, which is heavily mirrored in Penrite's branding at turn two at Mount Panorama.
