Thread: Ford to quit V8 Supercars at end of 2015

A bit harsh on the piece of **** claim Craig I think its a bad move,but one i am not surprised at either. It had to come,but like everyone else i am surprised it came this early. The future of FPR? who knows,but i think DJR team Penske will be a lot better off. But its not the first time Ford has pulled the pin on Motorsport then rejoined again.

FPR is trying to look ahead.

Ford haven't said what they are going to do yet.
People shouldn't get too carried away by "Factory" sponsorship,.....because many teams don't have it.

Couldn't agree more. SWMBO drives an 06 5.4 litre V8 LTD. It is an absolute joy to drive.

Back on topic, I think the whole V8 super car circus is going to crash, and don't get me wrong I love it, going to pay tv with too many other makes.

Who wants to see a Nisson or Merc win Bathurst.

G'day mate, I had a 2004 Fairmont Ghia with the 5.4L 3V SOHC engine. Loved it,just be very careful when you get the sparkplugs changed.

Yep, fully aware f the problem. I will be making sure that when I go to change plugs that I have the time to pull the heads of.

There is a online guide from the US. Not sure how good it is though. One tip which you probably know anyway,plenty of anti-seize on your new plugs.

Probably will crash. Also how do new teams form and privateers operate with such a level of manufacturing complexity in the cars. There are no small teams now, only big budget ones.

Perhaps people don't really want to see Nissan and Mercedes win Bathurst, but (I can't believe I'm saying this) I think there would be monumental support for a Volvo win!
