Triple Eight Race Engineering, along with major sponsor Betta Stores Ltd, have unveiled a totally new livery design for the two Team Betta Electrical Ford BA Falcons they will enter in this year's Australian V8 🥂Supercar series.

The cars, to be driven by Paul Radisich and Max Wilson, remain in the familiar yellow and blue colour scheme favoured by the sponsor, but the look is altogether more dynamic, with a differ🐭ent sꦗhade of yellow to the gold version aired in 2003.

"We consider the previous livery had exceeded its use-by date, and there was no better time 𒀰than the present for a dramatic change ಌin both livery design and colour scheme, particularly with the advent of Triple Eight Race Engineering's acquisition of the team late last year," explained Betta Stores CEO Guy Houghton.

"We have worked together with๊ Triple Eight Race Engineering to come up with a design we all consider to ๊be a very modern livery that will project a very individualistic branding image of both the team as a whole, and Betta Electrical."

Although not traditionally known for explosive liveries during its time in the British touring Car Chaꦇmpionship, Triple Eight has created an eye-c🦄atching design for its first full V8 season.

"Triple Eight Race Engineering is very conscious of the importance of prominent branding for the sponsor company and,🌺 keeping this in mind, I think that we have achieved something very special in colour selection, design and impact," commented team director Roland Dane, "It will certainly be very prominent amongst the other cars out on the circuit and that is what we set out to achieve.

"The initial design was put forward by a European design company, and we then fine-tuned it here to meet the sponsors requirements. What we have managed to achieve is very pleasing indeed. The metallic blue base🎃 colour of the race cars is very effective, as it refracts the light in many different directions, giving the cars a very individual appearance."

Drivers Radisich and Wilson took the covers off🌳 the nꦡew livery during the launch in Brisbane.

"We are also pleased with the progress of construction of our two new BA Falcon race cars for this season and, although time-lines are tight, we are confident they will be prominent on the grid at the Australian Grand Prix come March," Dane continued, "Our plan is to be in a positi𒁏on to test both new cars later in the month, prior to them departing to compete in the Melbourne event on 5-7 March.🥂"

The team pulled off another coup to follow the re-signing of Wilson late last se♔ason, when it acquired the coveted🅠 #888 from rivals OzEmail.

Designed to tie in with the ownership of the team, Wilson's Betta Electrical will now carry #888, whilst Radisich's car will carry #88, as the two teams decided ♛to eliminate any confusion among commentary teams and spectators caused by the conflicting car numbers and team titles.

Although the new numbering will apply for the championship series, regulations prevent teams from running triple numbers at the Australꦰian Grand Prix event, and for this event Wilson will run under the #77 whilst Ra🦋disich retains #88.
