V8SC Hypothetical

flappist · 02-08-2009, 10:09 AM

After all the media hype over the 888 transfer to Holden and a review of the costs of sponsoring the V8supercircus FORD have decided enough is enough.

As of the end of this season Ford are pulling out of V8SC completely and FPR will concentrate its efforts on other events.

They have announced the FPR drag team, the FPR drift team and the FPR production racing team.

In addition they are partially financing "Australian Touring Series", a series of events held all over the country that are loosely based on the spirit of the pre 1970 competition, that is, the cars raced must be based DIRECTLY of ones that are sold to the public.

The V8SC ringmaster huffs and puffs and then announces that V8SC will include a new model next year, BMW.

Do you this this is a good idea and will you rise to the events or will you remain a V8SC fan.
