Team Brock unveiled new livery for its twin Commodore 2003 attack prior to V8 Supercar practice at Albert Park today.

Prime sponsor Betta Electrical will join forces with Dupont, Mobil, Bridgestone and Holden to field VX Commodores for new drivers Jason Bright and Paul Weel.

The team has restructured significantly for the upcoming season to the same industrial park as Holden Racing Team and Kmart Racing in Melbourne, to enable the sharing of technology in a move to introduce economies of scale in the preparation of competitive Holden racing cars.

"Holden thought it was in our best interests to upscale operations after our toe in the water exercise for 2002," Peter Brock said.

"We decided that a technology-sharing arrangement would serve us best in the future," Ray Borrett, Holden's Director of Performance Vehicles and Motorsport, said.

"The HRT and Kmart program over the past two years has shown conclusively that business and cost efficiencies can be achieved while still retaining a fierce level of independence on track between the cars and teams.

"The addition of Team Brock to this equation will ensure higher levels of competition and strengthen Holden's opportunity of continued success in the V8 Supercar category," he said.

Team Brock will operate under the existing franchises of Kees Weel and Rod Imrie. The principal of the team is Kees Weel, with Peter Brock as spokesman and John Panozzo operating as team manager.
