Factory-backed Phoenix Racing has revealed the liveries for its two Audi R8 LMS racecars which have been prepared to be defend Ingolstadt’s honour at the 2012 Bathurst 12 Hour race later next month.
The Australian-based crew of Craig Lowndes, Warren Luff and Mark Eddy will race in the white R8 featuring a large redback spider. While the overseas crew of Christer Jöns (Germany), Christopher Mies (Germany) and Darryl O’Young (Hong Kong) will tackle Mount Panorama in the black R8 warning of kanagroos for the next 6km.
The Bathurst 12 Hour takes place over the weekend of 24–26 February and will see live coverage of the closing stages of the race for the very first time.

Great liveries!
Don’t they have any official sponsors?.
You can see some minor sponsor decals along the bottom. But you have to remember that it’s a factory team so the whole car is an advertisement for Audi, and having any other major sponsor would be kicking an own goal.
I hope that the South Australian Cricket Association is being paid good money for the Redbacks shirt design from the One Day competition a couple of years ago being used on the white car!
