For the non-Aussies amongst us .. I'd like to draw your attention to the main event in Australian motor sports happening right now on Channel 10. The Holden Racing Team have taken on sponsorship by non other than .. Star Wars.

Have they done it well? You be the judge. Check out their Facebook page for some great pictures!! Yes, the car has incredible art on it .. and yes, the pit crew are dressed at stormies!

Unfortunately, a quick observation of the scoreboard shows that they've yet to hit 0.5 past the speed of light.

I miss my Holden... Well it was a Pontiac GTO which is essentially a re-badge Monaro.

Sweet livery though.

The only reason I regret cancelling cable was not being able to watch V8 Supercars.

Between V8 Supercars, Touring Cars, and WRC I don't understand why anyone would want to watch any other motorsport.

This is pretty cool. Episode III was promoted in a similar manner too, but in Formula 1 with Red Bull Racing.

Mind you, this was back when they were a mid-pack team.

I love the pit crew's fire retardant suits. I'd wear one of those to work if I had one .. and I don't work anywhere near automobiles.
