Scott Pye, driver #20 Alspec Racing Team 18 Holden ZB Commodore

“To have Alspec onboard as naming rights partner is exciting, they’re a great supporter of Team 18 and they’ve been on the car all year.

“Excited for Bathurst, it’s a track everyone looks forward to going to and to see everyone’s face when we revealed the car made it even more special, so I’m looking forward to getting up to the mountain next week.

"Our preparation for the great race has been really good, for us as a group it’s been a huge focus of ours for a long time. This season has had its challenges, so we like to focus on Bathurst and try and turn our season around with a fantastic result there. 

“For me personally, having finished second there a couple of times, I don’t really want to do that again. I’d love to stand on the top step, and to do it with Tyler [Everingham] and Alspec would be a great feeling come Sunday afternoon.

“The car looks fantastic; I saw the renders a little bit earlier and to see it come to life is really cool. The car looks great, the green works well, one of my most successful go karts was bright green so I’m excited to have that back on board and I just can’t wait to get it on track at the mountain.”

Tyler Everingham, co-driver #20 Alspec Racing Team 18 Holden ZB Commodore 

“It’s been a cool experience to unveil the Alspec Racing livery for Bathurst here at Alspec’s Melbourne distribution centre, there’s a great group of people here and they’ve been very welcoming to the team, so we’re super excited to head to Bathurst with the Alspec livery onboard.

“Our preparation has been great, our test day at Winton will be extremely valuable and then we’ll charge on to Bathurst next week. It will be a busy day, but all these laps will be crucial to ensure we’re ready to take on the mountain.

“Scott [Pye] is extremely experienced so it will be good to soak up as much as I can and work with the team for a strong result at The Great Race.”

Paul Nakhle, Managing Director and CEO- ALSPEC.

“Alspec are proud to step up our involvement and launch the Alspec Racing Supercar for the most iconic motor race in Australia, the Bathurst 1000.”

“Bathurst and Gold Coast are two of the biggest races on the Australian motorsport calendar, to have our brand on show is an exciting moment for our customers and staff who join us in this program.”
