does anyone know if Ford are doing any form of marketing during this years Bathurst for the 50 years of Racing ?
My Suggestion is to run a ecoboost round the track and compare the times with a xy gtho or a xr8 (some kind of hero car) something a 'bit off the wall' like holden did a few years ago - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXKvIKVvP1Y maybe im dreaming but i would love to see the big sleeping giant do something....anything to celebrate 50 years of Racing at our favourite event?? cmon FORD!!! |

Doing that would require Fords marketing division to actually wake up on the job and actually work. Can't see that happening.
My picture of Fords marketing team is a bunch of stoners sitting around on the couch all day pulling bongs and playing x box. |

I know this joke has been used here before but this is probably the office of their marketing department...

why not have a eco race. i know it sounds boring but. put a 3L V6 commodore and that lpg commodore variant vs ford falcon lpi vs falcon ecoboost vs toyota camry hybrid over 3 laps. pretty sure the falcon lpi and ecoboost could easily blitz the other three!!

What about a comparo between the replica of the cortina that won the great race 50 years ago & the next years COTF.
That way we can really appreciate how far the cars have come. |
