After hiding all the sponsors who can give too many clues, there is not much left to see, once again;  Identify this race car.

Shrike NB89H Formula Holden.  It was built by the Croydon Park Institute of TAFE in Adelaide, South Australia, and was developed for the then new (1989) Formula Holden category which mandated an aluminium tub monocoque, powered by a Buick sourced 3.8 litre Holden V6 engine. Mark Poole placed second in the 1990 Australian Drivers' Championship at the wheel of a Clipsal sponsored Shrike.
Five NB89Hs were built, and raced in Formula Holden until the late 1990's.
