Dick Johnson Racing (DJR) will be celebrating a major milestone in its racing history at this year’s Bathurst 1000 as it will mark their 1000th race.

To honour this feat, the Shell V-Power Racing Team has sought to its past by dressing its Ford Mustang Supercars up in tribute liveries.

Both cars will be draped in a similar scheme as the 1998 DJR EL Falcon that was raced by team owner Dick Johnson and his son Steven back in the day.

Each car will carry a retro Repco logo and a “Celebrating 1000 Races” message on the roof and doors.

The Mustang Supercars will also sport fully red wheels like the Falcon.

Will Davison will carry the tribute livery on the team’s famous #17 with brother Alex while Anton De Pasquale will compete alongside Tony D’Alberto.

After 24 years, Johnson was proud to see the livery make a reappearance.

“To celebrate 1000 races at the Repco Bathurst 1000 is something that Jillie and I are incredibly proud of after all these years,” Johnson said speaking to Supercars.

“We had no idea what would come of DJR in 1981 and celebrating all of the ups and downs with a tribute livery at the biggest event of the year is incredible.

“The 1998 EL Falcon livery is very special to me as it was the first year I drove the Bathurst 1000 with my son Steven.

“It’s fantastic to see the livery on the current Ford Mustang, it looks incredible.”

Bathurst 1000 will take place between October 6 and 9.
