“We will be revealing the livery on Wednesday 1st March, ahead of the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide and can’t wait to see what you all think.”
Steven Johnson has been a regular in the Touring Car Masters in recent seasons scoring three race wins behind the wheel of a Ford Falcon GTHO in his first full-time campaign last year.
