Okay, so we got the first Ford livery of 2020 and it’s a good one! :O

Kelly Racing has always been good when it comes to liveries... (I remember when they had the Jack Daniels Commodores / Nissans and they looked fantastic!
) ...and this one doesnt disappoint.
I really like the combination / use of black, white and gold on this livery. A VERY clean livery. It's VERY simple and it works REALLY well
if anything, it looks a bit like the JPS BMW livery we got in the 80's :O
I gotta say, this is probably THE best Mustang livery I’ve seen thus far. Even better than Scotty’s and the Monster Energy Mustang we got this year :3
(...and yes, I'll be reviewing these Ford liveries as they come. I'm just surprised they revealed one THIS early
)
HEH!
It's even got a picture of Ned Kelly on the roof. *sighs* god bless his soul :3
If you dont know who he is, let's just say he's the Australian version of Robin Hood
...and if you haven't been keeping up with the news, Holden has officially dropped the commodore nameplate, which means they've got NOTHING to race in the future. They're gonna stop selling the Opel Insignia / ZB "Commodore". This is truly the end of the Holden brand in Australia

Looks like Ford gave 'em a good 'ol thrashing this year by winning Bathurst AND the Championship >:) What's gonna happen to them in the future? / what's gonna happen to the rest of the Holden teams? well, they DID say they will continue to race the "commodore" up until 2021. After that, they're in 'no-mans land'. It'll be interesting to see what happens to them, whether parent company GM will step in and re-name the brand Chevrolet and build a Camaro in right-hand drive to challenge the Mustang or leave them with nothing. If that's the case, they'll more than likely go with another brand, like Toyota and ask them for factory backing. WAU (Walkinshaw Andretti United) is consulting with BMW to race a BMW M3 / M4 in 2021.
There's a reason WHY the ZB "Commodore" didn't do so well in Australia and that's because: IT'S NOT A COMMODORE!!!
...and I know what Holden fans want: rear wheel drive, V8...and if you can't supply them with that, you're done. Honestly, they should've killed the commodore nameplate when they closed their factories in 2017. The VFII was THE last Commodore built in Australia...
People HATE the Opel Insignia and they dont want it. As for the Mustangs, they're EVERYWHERE and they're selling like hot-cakes, which is a good thing ^^
Hopefully, we'll get some more American muscle cars in the future :3
