Mark Skaife Vs Dodo Bird... who wins??

Hrt have been seen to be illegally testing at Calder Park Raceway in the last couple of weeks trialing a new starting system. They were caught drag racing a wierd looking car named "The Dodo Broadban Jet" and were seen to lose to this Dodo jet
So will HRT suffer the same kind of fate Team Dynamik did? Or will they get off?







Sorry guys had to do it, it was too good to leave alone

Isn't that the worst advert you've ever seen It must be true about HRT's budget.

From the look of this post, it sounds like a reference to a TV ad that I haven't seen.

However, I honestly think the name of this topic needs changing as it is very iffy legally - it is a statement of fact, and teams get very jumpy about references to cheating.

The ad is goofy yes.. and I'm a HRT supporter ! But yeah.. driving the ride car certainly doesnt constitute illegal testing...

Goofy ad's are sometimes better then good ones... afterall... you all know its a dodo ad, and you all know about the competition to win the SS... so its done its job, goofy or not.

What I think everyone needs to pay attention to is not the HRT Commodore that needs two drivers to race, or the Dodo Brandband Jet, but the Dodo Girl that the drivers are trying to chat up. She not only waves the flag to start the race, but waves the chequered flag as well.

She's faster than both of them!

I want what she's taking!

Tell me, in a drag race why would you weigh the car down with two drivers? The Dodo UFO only had one occupant.....

Blue mobile's are always faster than red one's though i guess

rusky26 - except the ad they are discussing actually exists (and is absolutely terrible - Skaife should be nominated for a raspberry - his acting skills match his people skills)

I thought Mr Kelly looked a little uncomfortable being Mr Skaife's passenger too

Thread name changed to more accurately reflect the nature of the discussion

I must be missing something. Is Skaife a profesional actor?

No thats right he's a race driver. And the best public speaking one after Crompton.

The only low point of the ad for me is Skaife saying "thats fast, dodo".

That is probably what Skaife says when the #22 car out qualifies him as well.

Also interesting to see the team grouping rule disrupting the ad campaign as well. The plan was obviously to have Todd in one car and Mark in another, both racing against the bird. But it appears to have been changed as they can only run one car at tests. What we couldn't see in the ad was Tander and Rick both driving the same Toll car around the back of the circuit.

Sorry, I will stop now.
