Fabian Coulthard reveals new V8 Supercars title sponsor Freightliner trucks for 2015 season Coulthard with his new ride for 2015. FABIAN Coulthard will carry the colours of truck company Freightliner aboard his V8 Supercar for the next three seasons. Coulthard and Brad Jones Racing unveiled the new-look Freightliner Holden Commodore that the New Zealander will race in the 2015 season at the Melbourne headquarters of Daimler Truck and Bus. Freightliner will be the naming rights sponsor of Car No.14 for the next three years, with the team name reverting to Freightliner Racing. "It's exciting," Coulthard said. It's great to have something fresh. Freightliner is a highly reputable brand and people can relate to it. I'm particularly looking forward to building relationships with everyone at Freightliner. The deal fills the gap left by the exit of Assa Abloy and their Lockwood brand, which has sponsored the car for the last three seasons. Fabian Coulthard's Freightliner Holden Commodore V8 Supercar. Team owner Brad Jones said the announcement of the Freightliner sponsorship heralds a very exciting time for the team as it heads into 2015. "It's great to have an iconic brand like Freightliner as the major sponsor on car 14," Jones said. With this early announcement we now have plenty of time to plan and focus on our Championship campaign. I'm looking forward to this combination adding significantly to our trophy collection. Brother and team co-owner Kim Jones added: "It's been a fantastic partnership so far with supply of our prime movers this year which has now grown to the naming rights." Daimler Truck and Bus managing director Daniel Whitehead said the expansion of their involvement in V8 Supercars couldn't come at a better time for the brand. "There are strong parallels between the V8 Supercar audience and Freightliner trucks," Whitehead said. Freightliner trucks are as traditional as the much loved Aussie V8 sedan; big and powerful that cover huge distances with ease. "With the V8 Supercar series moving to Foxtel in 2015 as well as selected races on free-to-air television our partnership with Brad Jones Racing will firmly etch the name "Freightliner" into the minds of the huge television audience, both nationally and globally, and the tens of thousands of enthusiasts who attend the 15 rounds of V8 Supercar races around Australia each year." Coulthard arrives at next month's season finale at the Sydney NRMA 500 at the end of an ultimately disappointing championship campaign. The fast Kiwi looked like a genuine title contender early in the season, notching up a race win at Winton and three pole positions, before his fortunes tailed off mid-season. He currently sits sixth in the championship points heading into the finale, but believes the lessons learnt in a tough 2014 campaign will make the Albury-based team all the stronger in the new year. "As long as we can build on this year we're definitely a Championship contender next season," Coulthard said. I think we're in with a real shot.
