HOLDEN VF COMMODORE V8 SUPERCAR COTF HOLDEN RACING TEAM #22 JAMES COURTNEY/JACK PERKINS 2015 SUPERCHEAP AUTO BATHURST 1000 STAR WARS LIVERY Licenced by Holden, Disney and Lucasfilm. Pre-production sample shown. Livery errors will be corrected prior to production to accurately replicate the car as raced on Sunday Morning at Mount Panorama. Biante Model Cars are very pleased to present the 1:18 Scale Holden Racing Team VF Commodore driven by Jack Perkins and Russell Ingall in the 2015 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. Holden Racing Team fans stopped in their tracks when HRT and Garth Tander unveiled their special Star Wars: The Force Awakens livery that would be raced by Tander and his co-driver Warren Luff at Bathurst. After Tander’s dark side of the force livery was revealed, all eyes then turned to what livery team mate James Courtney would be running with his co-driver Jack Perkins. Around a week later on September 30, car 22 was revealed to special HRT guests which featured a lighter livery in contrast to Tander’s predominantly black challenger. While the car was launched with Courtney’s name on the window as lead driver, the big question on everyone’s lips was whether James would actually be able to drive the car at the mountain a week later due to his injuries sustained earlier in the season an Sydney Motorsport Park. Unfortunately for James and HRT, he was unable to recover from his injuries in time with an announcement being made on the Wednesday prior to the event so Russell Ingall was again called up by the team to co-drive with Perkins stepping in to take the lead driver seat as they had at the previous Sandown 500 event. A rain effected qualifying session on Saturday saw Perkins miss the top ten shoot out to start 17th on the grid. Sunday’s race was a reasonably strong showing from the pair, gaining 6 spots from their qualifying position but ultimately that wasn’t enough, finishing their weekend in 11th place. The result however is only a foot note, with the fantastic livery being the main thing that most will remember about this cars 2015 mountain campaign. Biante Model Cars will be producing this limited edition model in die-cast with fully opening parts other than the boot and it will feature the full race livery as driven by Perkins and Ingall on the Sunday. Please place your pre-orders for this model as soon as possible as we expect it to be a very popular release. - See more at: https://www.biante.com.au/product-display/holden-vf-commodore-37#sthash.LxfGPgtd.dpuf
