Walkinshaw Andretti United celebrated the global 50th anniversary of Mobil 1 with a special livery on their Ford Mustang GT Supercars at the 2024 Sydney SuperNight. This milestone was commemorated with a striking design that paid homage to the long-standing partnership between the racing team and the renowned lubricant brand.
The livery for both the number 25 and 2 Mustangs raced by Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood featured a sleek black base, with gold Mobil 1 logos and the return of the Pegasus, the instantly recognised Mobil 1 horse with wings, above the Mobil 1 logo on the bonnet. It’s the first time the Pegasus had been seen on a Walkinshaw car since 1999.
Stylised gold numerical graphics and dynamic lines accentuated the design, and worked incredibly well with the added colours of the teams co-major partners. Teal stripes for Optus on car 25 and the orange of Truck Assist on car 2, gave both cars a distinctive appearance on the track.
The Sydney SuperNight event provided a perfect stage for this celebration, with the vibrant lights and dynamic atmosphere of night racing amplifying the visual impact of the special livery.
It was made even more special with a dominant performance at the hands of star driver Chaz Mostert, winning both races 15 and 16 for the round, in what was the teams first clean sweep in a multi race weekend since 2010. Rookie driver Ryan Wood also represented the livery well, topping the P1 timesheets and making an appearance in the important top-10 shootout for the Sunday race.
Both cars look amazing paired together as a team set, or on their own individually, and we’re incredibly excited to be replicating them for collectors.
This 1:18 scale #25 Mobil 1 Optus Racing Chaz Mostert edition comes in high detail die-cast with opening parts, including the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.
It is scheduled to be produced in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.
Once this model is sold out, it won't be available again.
