The eye-catching livery celebrated the exclusive Minions & Monsters Bag Buddy collectables available at Reddy Express and Shell OTR stores across Australia. Beyond the promotion, the bold yellow colour scheme also stirred memories for Dick Johnson Racing fans, recalling the team’s famous yellow Falcons that claimed victory in the 1994 Bathurst 1000 and the 1995 Australian Touring Car Championship, as well as the popular wildcard Mustang that appeared at the 2023 Bathurst 1000. After claiming the 2025 Super2 Championship, Rylan Gray earned a deserved promotion to the Repco Supercars Championship, securing a full-time drive with the iconic Dick Johnson Racing outfit for the 2026 season. The Townsville 500 marked another milestone in the rookie's impressive debut campaign, with Gray advancing to his first-ever Top Ten Shootout. He delivered an impressive lap of 1:13.837 to secure a top-10 starting position, highlighting both his growing confidence behind the wheel and the speed of the #38 Shell V-Power Racing Team Mustang. We’re proud to replicate this standout collector’s edition for Dick Johnson Racing and Shell V-Power Racing Team fans alike. This 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
