Default what a glorious day

First Bob anounces Ford is staying in the game with the Falcons continuing in V8 supercars then the icing on the cake comes with a heartstopping win at Bathurst. Now all we need is for some confirmation in the next couple of years that Ford will stay in the game post the Falcon; maybe with a 'stang.....

As I said in another thread, I was nervous as hell when Frosty was leading in the second half of the race. To me it doesn't matter what model Ford use if they stay post 2016. I'd be more than happy to see the new Fusion/Mondeo as the next Ford V8 Supercar.

As most know, I'm not at all a fan of the Mondeo, I think your right, these track cars share very little with the road going versions any way, it is of little relevance what is chosen as a race base

And as I said before

WHAT A FREAKEN TOP RACE

A mate txt me after I had rubbed it in about Ford winning, he said Commodore made up 70% of the top 10, I txt him back, Ford had 50% of their entry's in the top 10 (3 out of 6), Commodore only a third.

Now if they could produce a mondeo sized rwd/4wd 4 litre wagon I would come back to the marque (optional 6 speed manual)

I know my GT has nothing at all in common with Frosty's car, but I liked driving it to work even more than usual today.

I've got good vibes that because they are backing the FPR team next year that this is confirmation that the FH will be built.
