7 Mate's adds only refer to the Supercar drivers.
No reference to the previous Le Mans, FIA Endurance results or ex F1 drivers.
And they don't even televise the Supercars.

Because 7 Mate are targeting the domestic market your average joe in Australia will have no idea who Toni Vilander or Marco Wittman would be but they would certainly know the likes of Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup. It's the sad truth but it's marketing 101 market you're most marketable assets and in this case it's our Australian Drivers as they're the most recognisable drivers to the domestic market

oh, I certainly do, and I don't like the thought that they might own it only to further the agenda of the "other"category rather than promoting it as it's deserved - as a premier event in its own right...

Look at my post above your comment that explains why they do it it's not promoting an agenda it's marketing. Also can we please

This isn't a way to promote V8 Supercars, not once have I seen them really say come to V8 Supercars, they only mention the drivers. It benefits both the Bathurst 12 hour and the V8 Supercars category as internationals get to see what our track is like

Yep don't know why she thinks she can bash anyone on the grid especially considering the opposite ways they've gone in the pecking order since he departed and she arrived at SBR/Erebus

peckstar · 5 Feb 2017, 07:30 (Ref:3710049)

I believe she was insinuating or giving out a backhanded insult

Well that was my thought, but maybe we've read more into that than she meant.

The comments on it however suggested than many drew the same conclusion

It wouldn't suprise me but for now I won't be drawing my conclusions yet

Chappelli · 5 Feb 2017, 08:59 (Ref:3710071)

Why this car and no others?
If that is the level she operates at, it's little wonder her team is in such a sad state.

Probably because it was an error by the guy who just a 2 months ago bad mouthed in her the press

howecver she does have history in the 12 hour, including her car winning it and maybe she has some sort of relationship with the porsche team and she was dissapointed for them

Shane was at fault though, he has a habit of if he cant get through when he wants he just makes a path, even if it means ruining someone else's day. He has done it so many times before and wont change

I'm not denying that, he was in the wrong I'm just saying Maro & Betty shouldn't be criticising SVG public venue

Walkinshaw reveal at 12AM Daylight Savings Time tonight

Razor · 5 Feb 2017, 13:01 (Ref:3710108)

Walkinshaw is now Mobil 1 HSV Racing

Shame they didn't bring back the HSV Dealer Team name nor kept the lion head.
