Garth Tander and Mark Skaife, who together won the L&H 500 at Phillip Island last round, will lead the team.

The car will also have more black on the car than usual.

Historically factory Holdens haven’t had a great deal of success at The Mountain with black on them, but Tander says that colours mean nothing.

“It doesn’t matter what colour you paint the car – you could paint it pink with purple poker dots – if you’re the fastest car and the best team, you’re going to win the race,” he told ENews.

“I think the car looks fantastic. It will stand out, and that’s what we wanted to do at Holden. We want the car to be seen and to promote the company’s 60th anniversary. It certainly does that, and it looks different to what we’ve had throughout the year.”

The factory Holden team will not keep the colour scheme for the remainder of the 2008 season, reverting back to the teams usual colours from Indy’s Gold Coast street event onwards.
