RED BULL'S ROLLING MASTERPIECE

A glance at the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship statistics over the past decade would suggest that Triple Eight-engineered race cars are technical triumphs.

However, we believe that Red Bull Holden Racing Team’s latest custom-designed transporter is very close behind.

The Banyo-based operation does not do things by halves and we suspect that there would have been a few nervous smiles at Graham Lusty Trailers as the Triple Eight bosses put forward their vision. However, the end result is nothing short of spectacular. To describe the full functionality of the transporter, this article would need to be published as a full-length paperback. Alas, we will leave this to the transporter functionality video posted by Graham Lusty Trailers in May.

“It is a high-tech transporter with many innovations that present transporters do not have,” explained Graham Lusty, a former V8 Commodore racer in Australia’s premier class and current CEO of the Graham Lusty Trailers operation.

“I think that this transporter is a game-changer in the transportation of cars and equipment. [There is] room for the engineers to work, the drivers to relax and I am sure that we will get many more to build.”

Red Bull Holden Racing Team spearhead, Roland Dane, is contented with all aspects of Graham Lusty Trailers' execution.

“We have raised the standard here in terms of the execution, the finish and the functionality of the trailers,” advanced Dane.

“Also, hopefully we have achieved one of the objectives that I have had all along which was to make a trailer that enabled us to set up at a race track faster and pack up at a race track faster.”

We won’t steal all of the thunder from the Graham Lusty Trailers showcase video which tells the full story of the transporter. Hot off the press, you can watch the full video HERE!
