With Melbourne’s eastern suburbs set to become just a little louder for the Sandown 500 this weekend, we’ve rounded up all the retro liveries for the Supercars retro round.
On its website, supercars ran a poll to see which of the teams’ paintjobs is the most popular among fans, and the result was hardly surprising.

“Having Luffy alongside me makes it even more exciting, especially as he defends his win last year, so we will be doing our best to get car 2 on the podium,” Pye said.
“Recently the momentum has been starting to build. It’s now about increasing that over the next three events with Luffy beside me.”
One of those liveries is the DJR/Shell Falcon, with the 1967 Shell logo adorning what is essentially the car’s usual livery.
“Pete really wanted to do his own thing so he started up Team Brock, and being Aussie’s the natural thing was the Australian flag, hence the car being red, white and blue.”
Also being rolled out in the lead up to the event are a few light-hearted videos from current team drivers, mostly to self-deprecating effect.
Like it or not, at least they’re having fun!
The Sandown 500 retro round kicks off with practice, qualifying, and the first Touring Car Masters race tomorrow.
