Rodney Forbes

Seems Rodney Forbes for the past 2 years did not have his own sponsor

After some help from people i can not name last night i found this out.

Milk For When Your Racing is Bob Forbes, seems Bob did not want his son to have to run a plain car for the few rounds they did show up for last year and also rounds in 2002.

seems the crew at 00ms never knew it was Bob paying the Milk For When Your Racing sponsor money

[Harves]

I thought it was common knowledge that Dad was paying the bills.

was not was common knowledge that daddy was paying the Milk For When Your Racing sponsor money.

was common knowledge that daddy was paying all the other bills

Well and truely, even the Diet Shake VS was the same checkbook having a workout! I cant remember if the Porsche or FFord had any signage?

[Dirk]

I agree Harves, I thought it was commonly known, well it was to me and the people around me!

[jetsetter]

No real suprise that the only sponsor he could get was his father, who else would want to put their product on the side of a car that spent most of it's weekend facing the wrong direction.

[Dirk]

I thought it was sponsored by Klim

[Mr Keener]

From what I can see he has been doing a really cool Thex supporter website.How cool is that supporting a kiwi racing icon.

[Matthew Ronke]

I though it was commonly know that Bob Forbes is one of the biggest Milky's in Australia. He buys and sells Milk almost like a commodity broker.

well I already knew that so it wasn't news to me. My friends also knew so I wonder how many others did also...I guess many

[rdmdog]

I wonder how well he gets on with the owners of Oran Park (Leppington Pastoral Co, Pura Milk) he dosent have to milk any cows though

[Mr Keener]

I would be very interested in what GTRMagic thinks.He's normally very well connected on these sort of matters.

Mr Forbes business is apparently heavily involved in powdered milk, used in industrial applications as a food ingredient, and a significant export generator.

Milk of course has its place in the history of motorsport, with the Indy500 winner invited to drink a glass bottle of milk at the conclusion of the race, in celebration

I never really understood what a "milk when you are racing" brand would stand to benefit from motorsport, however there are many B2B marketing relationships that us normal everyday consumers may not appreciate

[rdmdog]

Maybe it just sounds better than "Milk, cos its wet" or "Milk, its good, if you arent lactose intolerant"

[GTRMagic]

What was wrong with promoting the flavoured milks?

Big M with Sports Sedans way way back, IC Iced Coffee sponsoring Mr Seton....

[rdmdog]

IC was a Pura product and I guess Seto was friendly with MR Perich??

[GTRMagic]

All the teev footage used in the ad was at Sandown wasnt it?

[rdmdog]

Might have been, testing the memory here!

Is the corner at Oran still called IC?

The name MPD Dairy Products or MILK POWDER DISTRIBUTORS may ring bells for people that live in Sydney.

MPD Dairy Products had a small logo on the 00motorsport cars last year. But the name did also change to
MILK POWDER DISTRIBUTORS at some rounds.

e-mailed Rodney about Milk For When Your Racing, at this stage have not even had a no comment from him.

being involved in milk powder ,is that the reason for the team being so POWDERY.
