Holden Racing Team's Todd Kelly will sport a new li😼very for the V8 Supercar championship's second annual trip to Bahrain, after being chosen to carry Chevrolet colours rꦚather than his usual Holden red.

The HRT driver will ru𓃲n a black-and-gold Chevrolet Lumina at the Middle East 'flyaway' to celebrate Holden's tenth year of booming export sales in the region, and admits that it is something of a childhood dream come true.

"As a kid in Mildura, I always loved 1950s Chevys for all the flair and detail thatꦜ was designed into those cars," he revealed, "I used to collect Chevy belt buckles and I've still got a drawer full at home - plus I've got ten V8 Chevy engines in the workshop for cars, boats and hotrods.

"Chevrolet in the USA always meant success in motorsport and I had the fingers crossed that Holden Motorsport would nominate me for this Bahrain exercise. This is something that you look back on in future years an🤡d remember as being something very spec🔜ial."

Holden Motorsport manager Simon McNamara said Kelly's fa🙈scination with the marque made him the natural selection 🌊to wear the Chevrolet 'bowtie' in Bahrain.
