Red Bull Racing Australia unveils 2014 livery

Reigning champions Red Bull Racing Australia have unveiled their livery for the 2014 V8 Supercars Championship season.

The team held a press conference in Sydney today where drivers Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes pulled the covers off of their Holden Commodores for the 2014 season.

Whincup claimed an amazing fifth V8 Supercars title last year and is looking for another one this year.

“Of course, I only know what’s going on internally with my team, and all I can say is there’s a really, really good feeling that takes me back to 2008-9. We’re not trying to do too much, there’s a lot of concentration on two cars … there’s a really good feeling for me in the team, which I hope we capitalise on,” said Whincup.

Team-mate Lowndes finished a strong second in the championship and is keen to improve from last year.

“The one element we have to step up from last year is our qualifying. Everyone’s going to be closer in times, so every element is going to have to count. I was very satisfied last year because we were able to finish every race of this Championship, and we were the only car to do that. The reliability’s there, we race well, obviously always come back through the field when we qualify poorly –but the problem is, when you start too far back you play the catch up game. You can’t afford to do that,” said Lowndes.
