Should James Courtney Lap around Bathurst in the GT335 be removed from the FPV website, since its been made offical that he will drive for HRT Holden?

probably clutching at straws with that one mate.
FPV aren't as one eyed as some of us fans are.

My guess is they'll leave it up at least until the start of the 2011 season when he's actually driving for HRT. He is the reigning champ and he did it in a Falcon after all.

Yeah it's stupid having HRT's big signing promoting the oppositions product.
Although having said that he doesn't really oversell it, maybe he kept something in reserve for the GTS video he's shooting later in the week.

I don't think people are that An@L, I certainly would not like to see it removed.

FPV wouldn't be so one eyed - leave it there. JC is still the 2010 champ, he won it in a DJR Ford - it's history, leave it alone.

Seriously who would not buy the FPV product because the driver in the car drives for HRT?

Why would it be?
Is there footage of another Ford driver taking the GT for a rip around Bathurst they can replace it with? |

Guys. A thought.
The DJR change of ownership clause in his contract was what allowed Courtney to go. Given the sad passing of our most beloved adversary this week, how robust is the current HRT contract to a change of ownership clause? Lukeyson

holden have a new slogan here it is : if you cant earn the #1 buy it and slap it on your car - imho the rules need to be changed to stop this defection to holden seems you win in a Ford and you soon after drive a holden asin next season, therefore getting the #1 on the holden product, team sell-your-phone won now are a holden based team, courtney wins champship now hes in a holden - hm see a pattern here if the ford teams keep winning then there won't be any left because they will all be bought by holden somehow.
and having courtneys' praise of the oppositions' product would irritate the HRT faithful imho so leave it

Is he driving a Ford or a Holden?
Would anyone here watch a clip of Peter Brock or Mark Skaife (or Craig Lowndes) doing a lap in a Falcon........I would. |

They should leavie it as it's a good vid, but it would be nice to see FPV do a bit more of this sort of stuff throw frosty or new recruit Mr Davison into one at PI or Winton.

yeah, leave it up because it's in a Ford doing the victory lap not a Holden. (These drivers have no loyalty... its all about the money and Holden are happy to dish it out to the top Ford drivers to try and stay on top.) He won't be winning in a Holden next year so he may as well enjoy what once was.
Why do Holden keep pinching all the good Ford V8 Drivers should be the question?
