Veracity Media had full responsibility for the launch of the Holden Racing Team’s 2014 challenger, with the creative concept built upon the iconic team’s success at the Mt Panorama circuit in Bathurst.

To achieve maximum coverage, a 7.00am launch enabled a live cross to morning TV, and then for the story to hit all subsequent news bulletins for that day.

The launch itself was shown live on national TV; first on Network Ten’s breakfast show Wake Up and then Fox Sports. News Corp Australia was given the exclusive first-look for newspapers and online.

Veracity Media produced a stunning image of the new-look VF Commodore, and drivers Tander and Courtney standing on the main straight at Bathurst for News Corp Australia’s exclusive first-look. Major stories and images from the launch featured in all of their mastheads that day.

HRT enduro drivers Warren Luff and Greg Murphy removed the covers from the stunning new-look car, while V8 Supercars Champions Garth Tander and James Courtney chatted candidly with the TV hosts via live link.

The launch was a huge success, with coverage valued in excess of $300,000.
