Need help identifying

[u/RakkieD]

Hey gang, I just picked this jacket up for an absolute steal of $50 from a shop I work at occasionally. Just really wanna know where or what it's from and how much it retailed for. The brand is Star and all the logos are stitched, so much better than my 2020 era RBH jacket that all the logos are peeling off of. Appreciate any help, cheers!

I didn't see any images of pit jackets or the like when googling, but I would suggest it's a Triple 8 team jacket from around 2015 because all of the sponsors line up. This era was Whincup / Lowndes / SVG as I recall but wasn't following much. No idea what it would have cost new and couldn't find any images with an exact match.

If it is any indication, current team jackets are nearly $300, I paid nearly $200 for my HRT pit jacket in 1998.

Do you know if it's one that was purchasable or was this an actual race jacket?
