The Postman is about to become a billboard for the World Driving Championship (WDC) .

New Zealand’s representative for this November’s championship Blair Orange will wear specially made WDC silks in all his races throughout October , starting at Addington on Wednesday.

The white silks will not be the ones worn by Orange during the WDC – there he will wear the Silver Fern.

Ten of the world’s best drivers will duel it out at Kaikoura, Cambridge, Winton and Addington between November 2-11. It’s the first time New Zealand has been the sole host of the championship with Kiwis encouraged to get behind the “Backing Blair” campaign.

A line of Backing Blair merchandise has been designed specially for the WDC and a range of socks, beer coolers, caps, sunglasses and flags will be available for people to purchase. The merch will feature Orange’s campaign logo and his nickname The Postman (because he always delivers).

The Backing Blair campaign will be launched on Harness Million night at Addington on Friday, October 10 and the man himself will be there in the Backing Blair Fanzone on the Spectators’ front lawn for anyone wanting photos and signatures. There will be spot prizes, draws, and giveaways throughout the evening.

Fans can also leave him a personal good luck note in the Fan Mailbox.

Backing Blair merchandise can be viewed (and pre-purchased) on wdc25.nz
