    The two-car V8 Supercar Championship Series team will be predominantly blue for the coming season to represent its key partnership with Ford as the primary manufacturer-backed team.

    "We've always looked like two separate teams running within a team so for the first time in the team's history we've got two quite uniform liveries," said Team Principal Tim Edwards. "That was our primary objective; to have two blue cars."

    Cars five and six each carry separate title sponsors, with Orrcon Steel's corporate silver and Castrol's green and red giving each car respectively a distinct and striking character.

    "I love the livery this year," said Orrcon FPR Falcon driver Mark Winterbottom. "We definitely look like a team. This and the 2007 Cobra are the two best looking cars I've driven and if it goes anything like that Cobra car did then 2009 should be a good year!"

    The cars will hit the track for the first time at Winton Raceway on March 3 for the team's official shake down before 2009 testing officially begins. "I can't wait to get back in the car, particularly since it's a new model and a brand new car," said Castrol FPR Falcon driver, Steve Richards. "It's like every driver's dream so I feel like I've got a second Christmas present coming!"

    Fans will be able to see the cars in the flesh before that at next month's FPV Open Day on March 1st.
