Veracity Media had full responsibility for the unveiling of Holden’s new VF Commodore V8 Supercar – the official factory Holden Racing Team's reveal just 24 hours after the unveiling of the world-class VF Commodore road car.

Launch day began with HRT shaking down the first VF race car at Calder Park, while less than two hours later, in front of a packed audience of Holden staff and national media at Holden’s Port Melbourne headquarters, the covers were lifted off the stunning new car by V8 Supercars Champions Garth Tander and James Courtney.

The launch was a tremendous success, with mainstream media coverage and fan engagement surpassing all previous new model launches.
