WPS launch / with what and when ????

v8race1 · 17 Feb 2007, 08:05 (Ref:1843556)

Can anyone confirm WPS's launch date?, and if the rumour of car and livery changes are to be believed.

Would give credence to the reason why the perkins transporter was seen leaving Brisbane a few weeks after x-mas. Did santa come late to WPS ??

Maybe Basil can give us a 'exclusive'...

hey V8race1, what are the rumours you speak of i have not heard anything

saliv8 · 17 Feb 2007, 08:37 (Ref:1843569)

the only bit of info i heard , was that someone spotted a show car somewhere on the goldcoast (i think) and it had bargs/wilson on the window and painted red....thats all i know

what does the perkins transporter have to do with it?

will WPS be a holden team?

i did read an interview with craig gore that said the cars would be very different and that he was going to choose another one of his many companies to sponser the team bacause WPS was doing well without the cars help, thanks to the safety car and other advertising.

what does the perkins transporter have to do with it?

One would think that a supply of shells and parts was needed to be sourced from somewhere. Does larry have a shortened supply of cars now ?
But who know's, could have been on sponsor related duties, visiting PMM or out-fitting WPS. Still, the transporter was a looong way from home.

will WPS be a holden team?

As with most rumours that abound on this forum, all is not to be believed until those with first hand knowlegde come forth, aka Basil himself...thus my post.

I reckon they shall be running holdens, maybe with extra WOW factor if all is to be believed.

WPS seem to be un naturally quite these days given the other launches we have seen...suppose we shall wait and see.

Now if only a few v8 300c's were rolled out to race in 2007.

Dont you find it a bit strange that on the entry list on the official website that both WPS cars are listed as BF's ... me thinks everyone is reading way to much into this.

Yep, they apparently look a hell of a lot like BF's.

Expect an announcment on Monday with a launch on this Friday coming.

Ipswich fans could stumble across a surprise Monday and all these questions have me seeing "Red". Larry is a good bloke must me on hols...

WOW Its going to be an interesting week.

No to Holdens but I cant even pronounce that other name. Its 4 letters is a brand but sounds like a swear word to me.

Max's car is at testing today - red and yellow with WOW sponsorship and Bargs has a black WPS car....

SRabbit · 19 Feb 2007, 02:19 (Ref:1845125)

Any word on why they didn't turn up until after lunch, bazil?

I would like to know the same thing myself. Surely someone out there knows. Bazil, I'm looking in your direction.

Venom XR · 19 Feb 2007, 09:55 (Ref:1845333)

The red/yellow WOW sponsored car looks quite good actually.

Bugger, nearly right. The WOW car looks absolutely WOWderful, something totally different, lets hope it has the wow factor on track as well.

Still believe though Basil, these liveries will look better on the commodores....

Please informs us where the launch will be and, I too wish to know the cars history's.
