DJR Team Penske launch stunning MAN Truck&Bus Livery
August 17, 2015
DJR Team Penske has announced that MAN Truck and Bus will be the naming right partner at the Sydney Motorsport Park Supersprint round this coming weekend. Revealing a striking black and silver livery, the MAN partnership continues the unique to V8 Supercars strategy of rolling sponsorship in 2015.
"This is the third brand in the Penske group to take a naming rights position with the DJR Team Penske Falcon. The MAN Truck and Bus range is a leader in Australia and the ability for us to showcase the brand on the V8 Supercar will be a highlight for 2015. Our guests and staff are very engaged with the race team and we will be welcoming our MAN customers to Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend. The MAN TGX 26-530 is used by the racing team to haul the equipment and race cars around the country for the V8 Supercar Championship, so this is a great connection." the President of Penske Transportation Group International, Randall Seymore said.
"Once again, DJR Team Penske will highlight one of the major Penske brands with primary sponsorship of the No. 17 Ford Falcon at the next round of the V8 Supercars Championship. MAN Trucks is the brand of choice for the team and the graphics and design of the car will deliver a very impactful look on track." said DJR Team Penske Managing Director, Ryan Story.
"The response to our livery changes from the fans and customers has been fantastic this year and I’m sure the MAN livery will create a lot of interest in Sydney. This has become an important part of our team’s marketing strategy," Story added.
Marcos Ambrose will run the car on Friday in the co-driver only session, and Scott Pye will continue the main driving duties in Sydney.
