Just to clarify the red Ford badge thing GTR, they were not 'replicas' made by Colin Bond, were they? I thought that some Fords came out of the factory that way.... it was a Cosworth thing, as far as I remember. It certainly wasn't a political statement from Bond.
Personally, I think all V8 Supercars should have to run their correct badgework... just as they have to run the right headlights/grille, etc. I've always been a fan of outlawing sponsor decals on headlights too... if we want the public to be able to 'relate' to the cars at all we really shouldn't be deliberately disguising their identities... |

It's hard to bargain if you tell people you are happy to settle for something.
He'll leverage the potential to move into the best position available, whether his main priority is family, championships or money |

The Hyundai Genesis would fit in quite well. Not a bad bit of kit.

Bathurst 88 - no badge AGP 1990 - with the red badge What has me wondering is whether there are grounds in the technical rules to lodge a protest against the 888 cars for non conformance of those cars to the technical regulations of the category. Surely if a car is presented for homologation with the Ford badge in place, then it should run with that piece in place regardless, as it forms a component of the grille, and could be used as an air intake adjustment should it not be in place.... |

To paraphrase one of the crowd from Underbelly... the quickest and easiest way to stop the noise about any alleged improprieties is to investigate them, and close them down. Permanently
