DICK Johnson Racing has taken the covers off its first ever Bathurst 1000 wildcard entry, revealing an eye-catching livery.
The #98 Mustang will be shared by Swiss star Simona De Silvestro and 18-year-old prodigy Kai Allen, with Ed Williams appointed race engineer.
They are due to spend two test days next week out at Queensland Raceway in preparation for the Great Race.
“We just saw the car for the first time, and it looks amazing!” said De Silvestro, who recently underwent surgery.
“It’s definitely going to stand out, it looks fast and aggressive, which is always a good thing.
“I think it’s going to look great going down Conrod Straight. I can’t wait to hit the track in the #98 Shell V-Power Mustang with Kai.”
For his part, Allen said: “It’s super cool to see the #98 Shell V-Power Mustang all stickered up and ready to go, it’s going to stand out!
“I’m sure if we’re fast and put the pressure on it will fill up everyone’s mirrors with lots of yellow.
“I can’t wait to get out to QR and do some test days in it, then head down to Bathurst with Simona.”
DJR is coming off a double top 10 in the Sandown 500, with Will Davison/Alex Davison seventh and Anton De Pasquale/Tony D’Alberto eighth.
