Now could have been a fluke, or that it coincided with the GT-HO's anniversary but I went to Phillip Island yesterday to check out some of the historic racing and was pleasantly surprised to see pretty much all the track cars where FPV/Fords.
Couple of GT's, GS and a Saleen Mustang thrown in for good measure. I know FPV this might be against your warranty philosophy but you might want to install atleast catbacks for when on the racetrack...it was a little bit hard to hear the 5.0 after watching a race. Anyway, if deliberate it was a nice touch. Im a fan of semi subliminal messages and this was a good one. There were a few new GT's in the car parks too which was good to see. So there you go, my first thumbs up to FPV for a while ...although I didn't see a nice static display from them but I couldn't get into the infield (note PI..some people have prams!) Anyway...it was a great day, perfect weather, and it was my first time at the island and I must say what an impressive place it is. Ill get around to posting some pics in this thread this morning, and a few more tonight. http://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11325483
