Its getting nasty...

It’s getting nasty Fast and Dangerous – BBC TopGear Australia

It’s rare that Ford pulls off a marketing coup, but this is a beauty. The Ford Performance Racing crew is offering a bounty of $10 to anyone who wants to trade in their Triple Eight Racing cap for an FPR hat this weekend at Queensland Raceway, post T8’s defection to Holden. This is getting bitchy…
Speaking of T8 and Holden, series champ Jamie Whincup was spotted testing Russell Ingall’s Super Cheap Auto Commodore in Queensland last Thursday. Yeah, old news to you internet forum nerds, but hey… Whincup wore a white suit – possibly a Stig castoff – but his own helmet, making him pretty easy to spot. He reckoned he was just doing what he was told; “They told me to go to Queensland Raceway, terst Paul Morris’s car and wear this suit,” he shrugged.
Whincup, of course, started his Supercar career in a Garry Rogers Commodore, and also driove for Tasman Motorsport before being picked up by T8 for 2006…

This DID make me laugh...it really is pathetic - first they dump 888 simply because they refuse to race in blue livery, and now this.

Yeah its funny how it was Ford that forced their hand, and now theyre getting all bitchy. Its going to be on next year though, Russel Ingal's car is getting the 888 treatment as well so we should see Holden back up top.
