Jones reveals ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ Supercar livery for Pizza Hut Camaro
There’s a legend long passed down over generations ready to take centre stage at the Tasmania Super 440 (May 9-11)
In support of its release in cinemas, Pizza Hut are collaborating with Sony Pictures’ Karate Kid: Legends and together they are bringing a spectacular livery to the #96 Brad Jones Racing Supercar.
Macauley Jones has today debuted a legendary look ahead of this weekend’s Supercars round in Launceston, with the Karate Kid characters adorning the side of his Camaro.
Jones will also carry the livery, which has been applied using 3M Films and PPG paints, at the Perth Super 440 (6-7 June).
Alongside all the action at Symmons Plains this weekend, Supercars fans can set their taste buds alight with the ‘Legends Range’ at Pizza Hut, which includes several tasty products inspired by the film such as the Dragon Kick Hot Sauce drizzle or, for balance, the Legend's Aioli.
To further celebrate the release of the film, Pizza Hut are also giving two lucky legends the chance to win a trip to New York City.
Karate Kid: Legends will debut in cinemas on June 5.

So, park up, put an order in and enjoy as more legends are made in Tassie.
Supercars are on track from 12:00pm AEST for Practice 1 tomorrow with three races across the weekend on the schedule.
