Retro theme for Freightliner Racing

Tim Slade's Freightliner Racing Commodore will front the upcoming V8 Supercars Sandown 500 in a 'new but old' retro livery...

The #14 VF Holden Commodore of Tim Slade is the latest V8 Supercar to be unveiled with a 'retro' Freightliner Racing livery, the car to be debuted at Victoria's Sandown 500 event over September 16 to 18.

The Brad Jones Racing in-house design drew some inspiration from the Holden Dealer Teams' 1968 HK Monaro GTS 327, which was driven to second place at the Bathurst 500 by Jim Palmer and Phil West, and Freightliner's vintage 'boomerang' logo. This was then capped off with modern styling, pinstriping and PPG colours.

"Freightliner has played a big part in our retro livery design; I know a lot of photos were going back and forth to get ideas and inspiration and everyone is really pleased with the result," said Slade, who is currently sitting in eighth place in the championship on 1518 points.

"We went black with the Alliance Truck Parts design for Townsville; now we're revealing something completely different for Sandown. To have done two unique and distinct liveries for Freightliner this year is pretty cool."
