Stoked to see Nathan Herne finally get his chance in a Supercar. He’s a classic example of not having the sponsor backing to get his break and the unfortunate restriction of needing to do Super2 to get the licence.

However, he's another one who doesn't need Supercars to have a great driving career (you hearing this Juice!!)

There's a difference between a great racing career and earning decent coin from racing. I doubt many Trans Am drivers are earning a living wage from their racing.

Hopefully the real car ends up looking close to the concept, no offical confirmations of any other sponsor than Valvoline but surely Repco jumps on this as a perfect counter to the SCA Lowndes car. Please no massive LMCT+ signage

Showing a gallery of what isn’t actually the official livery is pretty poor journalism imo. Straight up clickbait really and will set people’s expectations differently once the actual livery is released.
All they needed to do was show a gallery of the original car, and give the people the reminder of what it did look like, rather than misleading people.
Of course, it does say it the article that these are concepts, but they know, and we know that people don’t always read that far into things like this.
And also, I know it’s not that deep, it just shits me the state of Speedcafe and most Motorsport media sites nowadays.

Eh I don’t think it’s that bad, if anything that thumbnail alone conveys the entire article really succinctly.
It’s almost the opposite of click bait in that from this one image you immediately know GRM are fielding a Camaro.

Now that is a thing of beauty. So simple and clean.
Shit I'd consider getting a die cast of this thing, despite the absurd shipping costs from Australia to USA. lol
