WILL EVERY TEAM BE TESTING IN THEIR 2019 LIVERIES?
Not quite. Boost Mobile Racing (nee GRM) will run a testing livery on Richie Stanaway and James Golding’s cars before revealing their 2019 look on the eve of the Superloop Adelaide 500, while the #7 Kelly Racing Altima of Andre Heimgartner will also have its final livery revealed ahead of the season opener.
