MELBOURNE, Australia – Walkinshaw Andretti United has revealed the No. 27 NAPA Auto Parts Holden Commodore that Alexander Rossi and James Hinchcliffe will drive in the Bathurst 1000.

Rossi and Hinchcliffe were announced as a wildcard entry for the Bathurst 1000 in mid-August. The pair, regulars in the NTT IndyCar Series, will both be making their first forays into the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

“I think the livery is a real head-turner, it looks fantastic. The NAPA Auto Parts blue and yellow collaborates really well with the Virgin Australia colors, and the rest of the support partners,” said Bruce Stewart, Walkinshaw Andretti United Co-Team Principal. “It’s such an iconic look in U.S. motorsport, it’s instantly recognizable, and it’s going to look amazing over the top of the mountain.

“Thank you to NAPA Auto Parts, Virgin Australia and all the other partners involved. Not the least the wonderful team at Andretti Autosport and our great friend Bill Sandbrook. We are all extremely excited to see how both Alexander and James go, first off at Winton, but more importantly, at Mount Panorama.”

On Tuesday the No. 27 NAPA Auto Parts entry will begin a three-day test at Winton Motor Raceway before heading to Bathurst the following week. On-track activity at Mount Panorama begins on Oct. 10.
