Unveil your 2011 Fantasy League team in here along with an official press release - if you wish, that is! 
Note: You DO NOT NEED a livery for your driver(s) - they are an option if you wish.
For those designing liveries, here are the only requirements:
Sorry to those who have already completed their liveries, but this is a change we felt necessary simply to help the liveries look better...
Here are the logos you can use - which ever one you prefer...
Gradually (hopefully) we will add to the list of people you can ask to do up a livery (or two) for you:

2012 has started very poor for Strike Motorsport,
Having controversially won the 2010 title, Sir Richard Branson invested heavily in building a v8supercar team that could do his global empire proud.
He was quoted as saying “The process of restructuring the team with some F1 personnel has been uneventful and very smooth, I believe the partnership will be very successful and hope to see it continue into the future”
Yeah pigs arse !!
Having had a rough year in the results, Strike Motorsport has been given the boot by the mogul and unceremoniously dressed down as a failure and an embarrassment to the Virgin name. After a few nights in the clink for assault, team principal Jason Roberts was later spotted at the team headquarters consoling his team and vowing to rise from the ashes like a phoenix to re-brand and rebuild his fallen team to its former glory.
A clearly shaken Mr Roberts gave a short press conference to undeniably confirm that he will be on the grid in 2012 with a 2 car team even if they are there in plain white, “ we do not have the money we had last year, we do not have the resources we had last year, but we also do not have the drama we had last year” “ We will strive to find backing and we will not let down our fans and the loyal workers, no, family we have built here”.
2012 will be tough but we will survive!

CPRmy Returning for 2012
The Country Dealer Team will return in for the 2012 V8CFL season which will be the last season with the current cars. CDT team manager Craig Paterson has stated that the chassis CPRFG03 and CPRFG04 which have been run since the start of the 2010 season, will be updated for 2012 as there isnt any point in building brand new cars. The two CDT falcons will be updated at the NEXTSTOP Racing workshop on the Central Coast after the Christmas break. CPR will continue under the CDT name for the next season but the naiming rights sponsors, drivers and livery designer are unconfirmed at this stage although current design company RCD have expressed interest in continuing their partnership for 2012. Current supporting sponsors Ryobi, Tripp Industries, BRP Can Am and Dickies will return on the car for 2012 and there are rumours suggesting that Petronas have signed on as official oil supplier for the CDT. All will be revealed next year, but until then have a safe and happy Christmas/New Year period and we hope to see you all in 2012.
STOP PRESS
Seeing as the CPRmy are such loyal supporters, the team owner has decided to give a little preview of whats is store for the 2012 V8CFL season. The Country Dealer Team have withdrawn their name of the team and it will revert to Craig Paterson Racing for the time being. Ryobi, Dickies, Tripp Industries, Can Am and RCD have returned for 2012 and there are still a few unconfirmed sponsors at time of writing. However, Petronas has signed on as official oil supplier and CPR will use their Selenia and Syntium brands in their cars.
Without further aideu, Craig Paterson Racing would like to unveil their 2012 show car and a sneak peek of what the final product could look like.

Red Bull wraps up 2011 with a win, not the one they wanted though!
Red Bull's Craig Lowndes has put in a strong effort to try and win the 2011 V8 Central Fantasy League alongside Rick Kelly.
Lowndes finishing 1st and 2nd in the two races, he certainly had SZaucy Motorsports drivers of Jamie Whincup and Will Davison looking over their shoulders.
Rick Kelly also had speed but it wasn't to be. In Race 1 he had to pit on the final lap when he was in effective 2nd, and in the second race he encounted a few angry drivers, to finish 12th.
Current owner of the Red Bull REC's has kept his lips closed for what will be happening in regards to 2012. However it's expected that Red Bull will stay on signing a multi-year contract after the success of it's debut year in the Fantasy League.
Red Bull Racing Quotebook
Craig Lowndes (#199 Red Bull Commodore VE II)
“Today was another day like yesterday when I had nothing to lose."
“Jamie, Will and the whole of SZaucy Motorsport have had a fantastic year. Coming into this weekend it was always going to be a tall order to peg them back.
Yesterday was a bit of a relief but that was only a factor of Jamie having an issue with the car, and Will crashing out all together!"
“I am more delighted with the results we have had this weekend. We had nothing to lose and maybe I should drive like that more often.”

NEXTSTOP, Racing Scores First Win Of 2011 At Gold Coast 600
NEXTSTOP, Racing has finally scored their first win of the season at the second race of this weekend's Gold Coast 600. Mark Winterbottom, partnered with Irishman Richard Lyons, challenged Jamie Whincup towards the end of the race, successfully making a pass for the lead, thus scoring NSR and Frosty's first win of the season and adding Richard Lyons to the winners list. The added success has also added fuel to the rumours that, at a similar time last years surfaced, NSR is considering upgrading to a two car team in 2012. Orrcon has signed on for another year, reports that 2012 will see NEXTSTOP, Racing sporting two Ford Falcons with added support from Ford and FPV.
While NSR were celebrating, it was also a sad day for motorsport as MotoGP racer Marco Simoncelli was fatally injured in the Sepang race of 2011. Just one week after the death of IndyCar champ Dan Wheldon, the motorsport community is again in moarning. For the following events, NSR will run a tribute to both Dan and Marco on the car.
Team owner, James, refused to comment on the rumours surrounding the upgrading of the team, saying he felt it "...wasn't the time to be discussing such a matter in light of what has gone on today [MotoGP accident]..."
-------------------------------------------------
Team Upgrade For NSR 2012?
Rumours are gaining momentum surrounding NEXTSTOP, Racing's 2012 campaign being run with two cars. After today's announcement for Lee Holdsworth switching to Ford, a slip by Lee gave hint toward him joining NSR in a second car for the 2012 season.
"It's an exciting prospect to not only be joining Ford, but joining a team that won the inau-... has won a Fantasy League Championship in the past." Lee said.
With three teams having won the inaugural V8Central Fantasy League season, NEXSTOP, Racing (then known as TARacing) was the winner of the Privateer Cup. Full Throttle Motorsport won the first and now defunct Superteams and Overall championship and Southern Cross Racing won the Premier Class in 2008. Only one of those teams is still in the series; TARacing, now NEXTSTOP, Racing. It seems that his likely ride will be with that team.
When asked to comment, James said, "Of course it'd be fantastic to have Lee join us for 2012. Unfortunately, the monetary side of the equation is what will be in my mind most. As you know, we have our own testing circuit that was burnt down and the rebuild of that has taken a huge chunk of our funds. If we can afford to upgrade to two cars next year then, yeah, Lee will be our first contact for the drive. Until I find out if we can afford that, I'll just say that we are staying as a single car team. At this stage."

Successful Endurance Season
Red Bull Racing's Craig Lowndes and Mark Skaife have completed a successful endurance season by picking up two podiums, one of which was on the top step. Rick Kelly and Owen Kelly on the other hand weren't so fortunate.
With Red Bull Racing heading into the Gold Coast 600 this weekend ahead on points, it makes the mistake of a International Driver all the more costly. Craig will team up with Andy Priaulx while Rick will pair with Jorg Bergmeister.
Red Bull are hoping for a strong result at the Gold Coast event so they can then pin their ears back and go for gold at the final solo driver events to try and win Red Bull their first Championship in their inaugural year!

Always a Winner
With the season of endurance now underway this weekend, the Country Dealer Team have been working hard to prepare the cars to the highest quality so we can get the best results for this important part of the season. A few things have changed since we last saw the CPRmy at Queensland Raceway.
The main point is the drivers. Mark Winterbottom and Jonathon Webb have been given temporary release for Phillip Island, Bathurst and the Gold Coast. In their place are an old hand who is good at this type of thing and an emerging star. Craig Lowndes will pilot the #90 Inner Circle Rum CDT Falcon and Tim Slade will be in the #92 Ryobi Lithium CDT Falcon. Craig and Tim will comment after the weekend as they are in the process of acclimatising to CPRFG02 and CPRFG03 which are the two oldest cars in the field.

Back In Black
For next weekends Gold Coast 600 and beyond, the CDT cars will have their muchly anticipated diamond plate look. The diamond plate was originally meant to debut for Phillip Island but what pushed back to the Gold Coast round as the sponsors wanted something special which will all be revealed later on. Due to the driver changes, the cars did have their respective sponsorship deals for Muscle Milk and Can Am which will continue on for the remainder of the season. The new liveries will be revealed later on as there is a storm forecast for that timeslot. All will be revealed in the next few hours.
The Country Dealer Team revealed their liveries a few minutes ago but the predicted storm did not hit but that isn't a problem, as it will be stormy on track anyway. CDT enduro drivers Craig Lowndes and Tim Slade were on hand to reveal the new designs to the assembled crowd, and team owner Craig Paterson was on hand to explain as to why they have opted for this design.
"The Inner Circle Falcon is pretty much unchanged from Townsville apart from the addition of diamond plate to fit in with our fluro industrial look and its come up a treat. The other changes are sponsorship from Tripp Industries and Muscle Milk while the #92 Ryobi car has to be seen in the flesh to be truly appreciated.
The idea was a special one dreampt up by our designer and rival team owner Riley Curtis and it is brilliant, and it is still a team livery so people can tell where the cars come from" said Team Owner Craig Paterson.

#92 Ryobi Lithium Black Edition/Can Am CDT Ford Falcon FG
After a strong showing at Phillip Island and Bathurst, CDT drivers Craig Lowndes and Tim Slade are looking for a good result at the Armor All Gold Coast 600 next weekend which would be a great way to debut these new liveries.
The Country Dealer Team would like to thank their sponsors Inner Circle Rum, Ryobi Lithium, BRP Can Am, Muscle Milk, Caltex, Freightliner, Rebel Sport, Dickies, Lightforce, Gatorade, Tripp Industries and Fabrication, and Riley Curtis Designs for their valued support in 2011. See you on the Gold Coast. |

GoGetEm Racing – Season of Endurance Special Livery!
GoGetEm Racing today wishes to welcome a new technical partner in Triple Eight Race Engineering and unveil its Endurance Livery. Professor Cook outlined the reason for change in its technical partner. “We have the opportunity to obtain two brand new Triple Eight Holden VE2 Commodores and I jumped at it. Our 2011 performance hasn’t been as successful as I would have hoped, but I am pretty confident we can turn the year around.”
Two brand new shiny Holden VE2 Commodores have been assembled by the team and they have been prepared with a special endurance season livery. “We would like to thank our major sponsors for making this change possible.”, added Rick Kelly.
The cars will feature the Masters Home Improvement logo on both vehicles. Masters Home Improvement is the new brand of our major sponsors Woolworths and Dick Smith.
Rick Kelly will drive the No. 115 Masters Home Improvement Holden VE2 Commodore. Rick is delighted with his new car. “I love it. The new car handles nicely and will be on the pace I am sure.”
Todd Kelly pilots the No. 105 Masters Home Improvement Holden VE2 Commodore. “The car is great. But, I don’t want any jokes about me being old and racing in the Masters series.”
“Rick and I are looking forward to showing off the Masters livery to all our fans and supporters”, Todd added.
But, for now…….. Let’s go racing……….

Who's gonna save us?
After a bad showing at Queensland Raceway a few weeks ago, the Country Dealer Team are now looking forward to the Season of Endurance. With a new rule that allows teams to change their driver options for the three rounds, team manager and owner Craig Paterson has released Mark Winterbottom and Jonathon Webb for these three rounds.
"There have been no bitter feelings between the three of us as they understand that these are the biggest races of the season and agree that their current form may hinder their chances of been competitive in the endurance season" said Craig Paterson.
"It gives me a chance to re evaluate my position within the team and hopefully this will improve my chances at bringing home the goods for the team when we return to the sprint format after the Gold Coast" Mark Winterbottom said.
However Jonathon Webb could not be reached at the time of writing.
"Even with all the changes with the cars we have made over the season, hopefully it all comes together. There are new Roush Yates engines that are coming over from the States specifically for the enduros and this new engine program should move us forward" said Craig.
With Frosty and Jono been released from their endurance seats, CDT have been on a hunt for two new drivers that will have a strong chance at beating the teams from the top of the table. There will be more on these drivers when the endurance list is released but it has been rumoured that at least one driver is a series champion and multiple Bathurst winner.
To compensate for the new drivers, CDT have found two new associate sponsors that will adorn the rear wing and front windscreen strip for Phillip Island and Bathurst but there is something special in store for the Gold Coast round.
Cytosport's Muscle Milk brand will be an associate sponsor on the #92 Ryobi Lithium Falcon and BRP Can Am will be an associate sponsor for the #90 Inner Circle Rum Falcon
The Country Dealer Team would like to thank their valued sponsors for their support in 2011 which are as follows, Inner Circle Rum, Ryobi Lithium One+, Dickies Workwear, Lightforce, Caltex, Gatorade, Freightliner, Rebel Sport, Country Dealer Team and Riley Curtis Designs. See you at Phillip Island.

Lowndes Scores Queensland Raceway Hat Trick
Red Bull Racing has continued it's excellent debut form with Craig Lowndes winning all three races of the Coates Hire Ipswich 300.
It was a day of mixed emotions, with Rick Kelly in the top ten, but a spin from title leader Jamie Whincup dropped him to 17th.
Endurance time is now just around the corner and defending endurance Champion Mark Skaife will again join Craig Lowndes to form the 'dream team.'
While another Kelly will join the team, Owen. Owen drove with Rick last year and finished 4th overall at Phillip Island. However, changes may be made, along with a possible new livery for the endurance season.

Red Bull Racing Quotebook
Craig Lowndes (#199 Red Bull Commodore VE II)
“All the combinations are coming together. I love long distance racing, always have. We’ve had a sensational weekend and the car has been great from the outset. For me right now it’s a big box of ticks.”
Rick Kelly (#288 Red Bull Commodore VE II)
“We had a great day yesterday to get two fourths and that really helped our championship.
“We were unlucky not to finish 10th. That would have been a good result given our qualifying effort and our car speed today, but a hit from Jamie mid-corner saw us spin and put us down from 10th to 17th.
“It’s always disappointing to be spun but I appreciate his apology at the end of the day. Not many guys are man enough to admit fault these days.”

SPONSOR CHANGE!!
After a decent start to the 2011 V8CFL season, RC Motorsports are set to announce a new major sponsor for the rest of the 2011 season. Monster Energy is a rapidly growing energy drink brand in Australia with various sponsorships across the board in watersports and of course motorsport so it only seems fitting to join the top leages of Australian motorsport, the V8CFL. With RC Motorsports driver Shane van Gisbergen joining the Monster Army, it only seems fitting that the green claws grace the side of the Falcon.
"It's great to welcome a new sponsor to the sport and to help out a small team like ours, it seems that we are making the right moves to get big name sponsors and as a Monster Athlete this is a good thing" said Shane.
Team owner Riley Curtis was indulging in the sponsors product at the time of announcement and said something along the lines of "We love it".
The new livery for the Monster car replaces the Tripp Industries colours for a more darker, angrier approach. It features green highlighs and also a darkened splash pattern similar to that of Ken Block's Ford Fiesta. There is no word yet of the Falcon becoming the star of a new gymkhana video but anything is possible.
RC Motorsports would like to thank their valued sponsors Monster Energy, Ford, SP Tools, and Tripp Industries for their valued support for the 2011 season and we will see you at Ipswich.

.We're back, back in the New York groove
After some of the less desirable results we have had in the previous rounds. Hidden Valley was pretty bizarre as everyone probably had too much Northern Exposure as there were some weird and wonderful results. Mark Winterbottom, our resident Hollywood star took a few days off before heading to Darwin after the passing of his Mother. For this weekend, we prepared a special racesuit for Mark for his recent loss.
"Its a great gesture from the boys and Mum will be up there watching over me for this weekend and I will be winning for her" said Frosty.
The Emirates Ryobi CDT team made a few changes to the cars for this weekend in a bid to make them more competitive for a different track surface and climate. RoushYates engines have retuned our engines for better performance and fuel economy and the difference was seen out on track in a few of the qualifying sessions where Frosty scored pole for Saturdays race.
Some of the other stories revolving round the team during the weekend was the recruitment of a new crew member for Emirate Ryobi CDT and he is a very colourful character and is a champion waterskier, a five time Indycar Summer Series champion and also at Le Mans. Its unclear as to what role this person will play in the team but we will post a picture up and let the CPRmy decide what to do.
The other big news of the weekend was that of Emirates Airways. A representative was in the garage for the weekend to oversee operations with a shocking result: "Despite having a good weekend, Emirates Airways have decided to hand control of the team back to Craig Paterson and have withdrawn sponsorship for the rest of the season as the powers at be have decided to redirect their sponsorship towards Soccer, Cricket and Horse racing."
"It's a bittersweet situation to be in but we are grateful to have a company as big as Emirates to sponsor and support our team. We have had a good relationship with them but thats business for you" said team owner Craig Paterson. The search is now on to find a sponsor for the rest of the season.
We would like to thank Emirates for their valued support until this weekend and best of luck to them for their future endeavours. We would also like to thank CDT, Ryobi Lithium, Caltex, Freightliner, Lightforce, Rebel Sport, Gatorade, Dickies Workwear and Riley Curtis Designs. See you at Townsville.

The Country Dealer Team, after revealing an interim livery for Townsville, have found a new major sponsor for the remainder of the series. Starting at the Sucrogen Townsville 400, Inner Circle Rum will support the #90 Mark Winterbottom piloted Ford Falcon FG
"Its great that a new sponsor has come to the sport and we are very happy to have Inner Circle Rum on board for the remainder of the season" - said team owner Craig Paterson.
"The new livery is great and so is the product. Its a new opportunity to have a sponsor thats relatively new to the sport" - said Mark Winterbottom

Rick Kelly "Bradbury's" for a Win!
This weekend has been a strong effort for everyone involved in Red Bull Racing with Rick Kelly taking a win and Craig Lowndes coming up with two podiums from two starts.
After taking their first round win at Hamilton, Red Bull Racing can now add another trophy to the cabinet with an overall win at Hidden Valley.
Coming off from a disappointing weekend at their home track and double points round in Winton Rick was ecstatic about the race win, “I had that name (Bradbury) in my head by the next turn,” said Rick Kelly.
“It took me a little bit to realise what had happened. I had focused all of my effort on that safety car to attempt to take a few spots and ended up in the front.
“I drove like a monkey for the next few laps because I just wasn’t expecting it. We were very lucky. I probably had a car that was capable of finishing fourth. I’m still sitting here wondering what happened.

Ridge & Kramer Motorsports Press Release – London
As he exited the local jail from his mandatory 30 day sentence for attempting to congratulate Princes Kate at the Royal Wedding (without invitation, mind you), Mike Desmet, Team Principal of Ridge & Kramer Motorsports, had this brief statement:
"First off, I'd like to say this was all a big misunderstanding - like when I was accused of trying to shoot Todd Kelly.
"To make a long story short, I had a few drinks prior to the Royal Wedding with the ex-Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, and well.... one thing lead to another.....and little did I know she was black balled, barred, and strictly prohibited from any Royal gatherings. It had something to do with blackmail, embezzlement, or something of the sort.
"But her Royal Highness, Kate, freaked out when tried to give her a hug after I walked right up to her on the way to the carriage and told her I was a friend of Fergie's. You know how women are on their wedding day - all whacked out and not thinking straight.
She didn't like my joke about the balding guy, either (William - the future King)."
He added, "Nonetheless, I am totally stoked with our win at Winton! Jamie (Whincup) and Steven (Johnson) were at the top of their game. I cannot wait to go up to Darwin, once I get back to Australia."
When asked how he was treated in the London jail house, Desmet replied, "The blokes in charge were actually nice guys. Big BTCC and V8CFL fans. They treated me quite well, despite hiring Steven Johnson.
"The prob was the food. It's not like served us quality meals. They served us the local cuisine. I mean, let's face it, guys. You go out to eat. What do you want? Mexican? Italian? Chinese? Greek?
"Ever hear anyone yell out "Let's eat British tonight'?"
It was a tough 30 days.
***********
In all honesty, mates, it has been very hectic around the homestead. Nothing disastrous, just too much to do and not enough time to do it. I'm still with you guys and the V8CFL. I am just playing catch up right now.
Thanks for keeping us going forward, Ben.

This is the end.................
On a weekend where there were strange weather conditions and the prediction of the end of the world on Saturday. It was a very interesting weekend for the crew at Emirates Ryobi Lithium CDT. After the decision of completely working over the cars straight after the Perth round, some of the results over the weekend were expected by team manager Craig Paterson.
"After Perth we took the cars back to the workshop and stripped them down to the bare chassis to see what the problems could be. All of the main components were thrown away and replaced with freshly developed parts including a brand new engine from RoushYates from the USA. Every part bar the roll cage and interior were swapped in an effort to find valuable performance from both cars. We then had a test day a few days before the Winton round and Jono and Frosty decided to try each others cars on their own accord. Its no secret that the #92 Ryobi car is struggling for pace so for the next few rounds until Phillip Island at least, the CDT drivers have swapped cars."
Mark Winterbottom will pilot CPRFG03 which was the spare chassis and Jono Webbs car until Winton whilst Jono will now be in CPRFG02 which is last years car and Frosty's up until now. Hopefully this car swap will improve our position in the championship for this season.
The results were a little bit dissappointing but that was expected after a wholesale car change on both sides of the garage but it was a good round and gives us some improved hope for the rest of the year.
Jono Webb: "The car swap was a good idea as it gives me a chance to see what I can do with a proven car and judging by last years results with Mark at the helm. Everything is new on this car which is a good thing as we can adapt it to the upcoming circuits. It should be good"
Mark Winterbottom: "I've heard that this car was thrown together just before Abu Dhabi but it isnt too bad to drive. It just needs a few more tweaks until it is competitive"
Emirates Ryobi Lithium CDT would like to thank our sponsors Emirates Airways, Ryobi Lithium, Caltex, Dickies Workwear, Lightforce, Gatorade, Rebel Sport, Freightliner, Riley Curtis Designs and Country Dealer Team for their valued support for the 2011 season. There have been rumours that there may be a special livery for both cars at Hidden Valley but all will be revealed closer to the date. See you there.
