do you know when pete55?

pete55 · 16 Feb 2005, 06:44 (Ref:1226830)

No idea sorry. Will see if i can find out though.

The Hrt Kid · 16 Feb 2005, 06:57 (Ref:1226835)

v8central has a big pic of it. In AA it said before the clipsal 500, so i presume only 1 car will run at the agp as only 32 can?

James63 · 16 Feb 2005, 07:00 (Ref:1226838)

That's probably right. The car running on the #31 franchise would be given entry but the #14 franchise would not as it wasn't a top 32 finishing spot last year.

bartman71 · 16 Feb 2005, 07:14 (Ref:1226846)

any pics?

I don't know where the best spot to write this is... But.. at the very very very bottom of the britek press release, they say the team will field 2 x-fpr falcons at the AGP... Apart from the new ones FPR are building for this year, FPR only had 3 BA's.. Britek has 2 of then, that leaves FPR with only 1.. Where is FPR getting their 2nd car from??? All this talk about them not finishing the new car before the GP must be bull?? Or is their a bigger story here??

Will Mr Doricott be joining the team then? They can reminisce about the good old days... about sponsors and the like....

Two ex-FPR chassis for Mr Owen & Mr White, the ex-Speedy BA for Mr Fernandez.....

**GTRMagic** · 16 Feb 2005, 08:42 (Ref:1226902)

I still cant feel the power at www.britek.com.au

miss tmr · 16 Feb 2005, 08:47 (Ref:1226906)

Yeah i thought the website wouldve been launched today as well..

James63 · 16 Feb 2005, 08:47 (Ref:1226907)

What cars will FPR have then? They built 3 in 2003...They built at least 1 in 2004 (did they built 2?)...Presumably they are building 2 new ones this season already...So how come the Development car came from Thexton rather than FPR?

**GTRMagic** · 16 Feb 2005, 08:50 (Ref:1226911)

FPR are/were building 2 brand new BAs for season 2005... with 2 cars to be onsold to Britek, and the 3rd retained as a spare at FPR.

The lateness of the build of these new cars (and arguably the reason Mr Russell is no longer with the team...) means that Mr Bright and/or Mr Ritter will likely start the season in a 2004 car, suitably updated for 2005....

So it remains interesting that Mr White ably assisted the cleanout of Speedysport, and secured the unraced ex-Speedy BA for Mr Fernandez to drive... when it is available for himself to use during the main series season...

Apart from the ones they are builting now, FPR only built 3 in 2003.. NON in 2004 (just redesgined the same ones)... Britek has 2 of them & that only leaves FPR with 1, plus 2 un-finished ones.... So where is the 2nd BA coming from for FPR to start the year if the new ones are unfinished???????

James63 · 16 Feb 2005, 09:12 (Ref:1226929)

I thought Glenn debuted a new BA around Winton...or was that just a rehash as you said?

**GTRMagic** · 16 Feb 2005, 09:14 (Ref:1226935)

A rehash of the previous years' car sadly....

bartman71 · 16 Feb 2005, 09:25 (Ref:1226949)

don't like it

James63 · 16 Feb 2005, 09:25 (Ref:1226950)

Do you know which cars Britek have? The first and second built FPR cars? (#5, #6 2003)

peckstar · 16 Feb 2005, 09:33 (Ref:1226967)

that is a mean and nasty looking car, bit like the 2003 pirtek car, meanacing looking, or the truck from duel

looking forward to see it on the track as it growls and huffs its way past those pretty but bland looking red things

TSR · 16 Feb 2005, 09:43 (Ref:1226982)

It goes down as one of the worse paintjob in v8supertaxi history, it's shocking.

jimmycourier · 16 Feb 2005, 09:53 (Ref:1226994)

dito, that is an absolute embarrasment.. I prefer thextons effort in the Au over that!

peckstar · 16 Feb 2005, 09:54 (Ref:1226995)

based on the car next to your post, im not really valuing your opinion on paintjobs

Also a Believer · 16 Feb 2005, 10:12 (Ref:1227006)

It is awful just awful

What kindergarten did that get designed at.

pete55 · 16 Feb 2005, 11:34 (Ref:1227091)

It's my new worst livery of the year so far. Hopefully they don't come any worse.

James63 · 16 Feb 2005, 11:37 (Ref:1227095)

I put the car into the paint shop and put white wheels on it....It looked far far better. The wheels just make it look dull and almost "dirty" looking.
