Lucky he did'nt try to have his photo taken on the podium afterwards. His wallet would've been $30,000 lighter!

If VESA donate that fine back to State Racing Series-- then I might be a bit more genereous in my condemantion !

Slightly off topic. Does anybody know who does ride days these days.

All teams do ride days. Some are done on the Friday @ race meetings,
others are done through out the year at the teams test track.
Most are for sponsors, media and those lucky enough to be involved
in the sport.

For joe public, some teams have dedicated ride cars that you can pay to go around in.

Now would that be the very same Ute, that the team owner allegedly AND I REPEAT allegedly once drove at Calder wearing only: driving shoes, a WWII Leather flying hat & goggles, a leather flying jacket, and running shorts

Basically a V8 Supercar, but with a Ute body on it.

Not quite sure what the purpose of this thing was, because V8 Ute were already in existence by then ?

A secret project for Holden maybe.......

The V8 Ute at GRM was constructed from the bits and pieces from This Car before it was restored...

Yes. 888 and FPR took cars over. HRT went over, but not sure if the cars did??

Corporate Rides can be conducted only at the relevant Team’s nominated
Test Track at any time. Plus any 3 other circuits which host a round of the
series, but only after the round has been conducted at that circuit.

Or at any other circuit which does not host any round of the series and
which has been approved V8SA. Hence why they could @ Wanaroo.
