Ellery's predictions as bold as his warpaint

Steven Ellery’s gleaming new Shell Series weapon is certainly bright, but not as bold as his predictions for the coming season.
Ellery warns his new-look Falcon will be on the prowl come March

The new-look Super Cheap Auto Falcon has just been rolled out of the paint booth, with Ellery insisting it will be much more prominent in 2001.
"We plan to add a few more wins to the scorecard," 26-year-old Ellery confidently declared.
"After our performances late last year, I know we can do it. We had a few gremlins in the system early last season and we worked hard to get on top of it. It came together at Sandown and showed what's possible for a private team.”
"I'm not saying we're going out to win the championship, but unless the other teams have made huge leaps and bounds during the off-season, I know we'll be in a good position to make an impact straight up,” he said.
The Falcon’s livery has been sharpened for the new season to reflect Super Cheap Auto’s increased commitment to the tight-knit Gold Coast operation. Konica are also conspicuous supporters.
The new-look Falcon will first hit the track competitively at the Australian Grand Prix next month.
