PPG has confirmed that it will continue its sponsorship relationship with the AT&T Williams team for the 2008 season. To celebrate the team’s 30th anniversary, its 50,000 racing lap and its 500th Grand Prix, Williams is running a campaign of six liveries on its racecars during winter testing, with each one communicating a landmark the team will reach during the forthcoming season.
For the six winter tests in Spain, the team has painted its FW30 racecars in a new, darker blue base colour, a reference to the heritage racing colours of the predecessor to Williams Grand Prix Engineering from the 1960s and 1970s, Frank Williams Racing. This new midnight blue will be the backdrop for the six winter test liveries and will also form the basis of the team’s 2008 season racing colours.
