Exciting New Look
for the Toll Holden racing Team
THE MOST SuCCESSFuL V8 SuPERCaR TEaM in HiSToRy, THE FACTOry TOLL HOLDEN
rACING TEAM HAS uNvEILED A FRESH nEw LooK FOr ITS CaR AND ITS TEaM IN 2011.
The new car was revealed in January with a dynamic
new team logo, fresh identity and energetic look, and
fierce determination to drive the team back to the very
top of the sport.
2010 V8 Supercar Champion James Courtney has
also joined the team, as Toll HRT set their sights on the
championship in the VE Commodore Series II race car.
Courtney said he was excited about the opportunity to
rejoin the team that kick started his V8 career, especially
now as reigning V8 Supercar Champion.
“I am super excited about the opportunity to drive for the
Toll Holden Racing Team, especially as defending Champion.
My goal is to be the driver to deliver the team its next title,”
Courtney said.
Courtney said working alongside 2007 Series Champion,
Garth Tander would be a motivating factor in his quest for
back-to-back titles.
“Garth is a championship winner and never out of contention.
Like me, he is an extremely motivated person and in a team
environment that adds up to a perfect combination.
I am really looking forward to working together with him”.
Tander said he was thrilled with the look of his new car
and looking forward to the challenges of a new season
and working with his new team-mate.
“Last year did not deliver the results the Toll HRT had
hoped for, but our car showed good speed at times.
“James is a new team-mate, we don’t yet know each other
well and haven’t spent a lot of time together in the past, but
we are both competitors and we both know the challenge
ahead of us. I know we will work well together and fight to
get Toll HRT back to the front.
“From there we can fight it out as to who will be number
one, and who will be number two”.
After it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2010, Holden
Design’s Peter Hughes said it was time for a fresh
identity for the team.
“For 2011 we really wanted to move the goalposts,
so we’ve made a big effort to keep the design uncluttered,
simple and bold,” Hughes said.
“The highlight for us this year is the dynamic new Holden
Racing Team logo, which helps give the car and team a
fresh identity.
“It’s a perfect mixture of more traditional and easily identified
shapes for the lion, mixed in with modern cues which flow
through to the wild new race helmet.
“Credit goes to Holden designer John Leung for perfecting
the new logo,” he said.
“Toll also has a new logo which we had to work with as well
and it fits neatly with the new look of the rest of the car”.
From all at Toll, we wish Toll HRT an excellent
2011 season! n
