But wait, Tony Longhurst brought one out specifically to advertise his business in his last hurrah: "The first thing is to get through the Bathurst 12 Hour and I want to use it as a promotional tool for The Boat Works". Wow, bold plan there, mustn't be a very astute business person, or just plainly an idiot! However, I wonder who else could do something similar? Maybe Prodrive?

Are we still ridiculing, thought we stopped.
I guess tickford decided the bathurst 1000 was a better promotional opportunity with a series they already compete in as oppose to an event they would have to spend massive amounts of money tooling up for.
Compared to say SRM who are already competing in that series.
