McConky's new WOW factor livery!




well when i first looked at it i thought crap but after a few miniutes i thought wow (no pun intended) this looks quite alright, bright and out there yet simple although i think yellow wheels would set it off.

I like it.

I agree about the yellow wheels. Even blue wheels would look good. The white just dont seem to fit in with the rest of the car.

Nah, red wheels would set if off really well.

Either way, still looks great!

Much better than Wilson's did.....

WOW, he should be quicker next time out. They never converted their pace into a good grid position at the Clipsal. Must be a cert for a win or two this year.

He'll feel like he's back in the Lansvale car with that colour scheme.

The yellow looks good What about blue?

I'm glad I won't confuse this car at least with HRT now. Every time I saw it at Clipsal I thought it was an HRT car! I guess AJ will still have the same look.

I like the paintjob. Yellow, Blue or Black wheels would look good.

Obviously that blue is abit brighter than the wheels would be. and the black one above is abit duller (is that even a word?)

Whilst this livery isn't bad, i did like the old one better.

A few things of interest...

To me the livery is bleeaaahhh.. much prefer the below...


... but there is something on the current BJR car that may be used to track the impact of motorsport on the potential customer.

If you take a squiz at the front of the WOW BJR car, it lists the email address as www.1wow.com.au . The regular WOW URL is www.wowwicked.com.au

Now the 2 addresses go to the same place... but it has me thinking that perhaps this is a unique address for the motorsport program.. to measure clicks on the site from purely advertising it in that category.

Wonder how that will go... measuring hits is one thing, measuring conversion to sales when there isnt really an online sales presence is quite another...

Also interesting to note.. for trainspotting purposes.. is that the BJR Commodores at launch did not have "HOLDEN" at the top of the rear wing... yet somehow it appeared on the car at Clipsal and Eastern Creek. That branding is on the other "works" cars of HRT & HSVDT...

GRM doesnt carry that branding, nor does RNR or Perkins.. or PWR...

Perhaps... that the BJR operation managed to scoop up the WOW backing when it was also allegedly being pitched at by another operation that may or may not run an opposing brand... Holden managed to parlay its benevolence into additional support....

Presuming any of this actually happened

It's funny how the neatly taken photo can sway the opinion.

On the Teev this is quite possibly the worse livery of all time, and at the Teev it looks just look a messier version of Lansvale livery - presumably intentional with the Cam and Storey connection.

Take a look at the website.. the background colour is red, like Maxamillion's car from last year.. not yellow... maybe we should run a competition to design a prettier livery in WOW corporate colours

The car actually looks a lot different to the original concept designed by Mr Wills, if it had been stuck to closer in terms of colours and design the car would have been up there with the best
