Some very strong combinations with at least a dozen genuine contenders IMO.

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I see v8 supercars have released a new bathurst track map today re-naming Peter Brock Skyline to Dick Smith skyline

that will upset a few people in the 50th running of the race

I don't think its that big a deal, the naming rights of the corner is for the purposes of the race, the actual name of the corner will still be "Brock's Skyline"

Its like Griffins Bend, over the years it has been branded XL Bend, GTX Bend, Repco Bend etc.. but the actual name is still Griffins

Conrod Straight was branded "Subaru Straight" for a few years in the 90s, Forrest Elbow was "Tyrepower Turn", Hell Corner has been "Shell Helix Corner"

etc etc

Is Brock's Skyline actually the straight part of the track?

The problem with 'retro' colourschemes are severely compromised by the current sponsor logo's they obviously need to carry (take the 2010 HRT 'red rooster mobile' as an example)

For example, say the 1977 Moffat-Bond Falcon livery, its attraction was the simple and uncluttered look of it... massive Orrcon Steel & Trading Post signs all over will leave it looking very mis-matched

The same if someone decides to do say a Marlboro-HDT colourscheme.... it wouldn't look right with "Vodafone" written instead would it?
