It was reported in todays Daily Telegraph that Audi will no longer be the pace car for the 2005 season of V8 supercars.

Apparently people watching V8's isn't in Audi's target market. Toyota also declined.

so how about it FPV??

Wasn't it reported at the time Audi scored the gig that they were they highest bidders? possibly didn't want to cough it up this time.. :hrm:

Well DRRRR.

I never understood the logic in the first place. I think there should be one FPV and one HSV, but maybe a DJR 320 and a PWR enhanced Holden would be the go. I think they have to pay a hell of alot of mone for the previlage.

There was a DJR 320 pace car at Surfers last year wasnt there?

The Chrysler 300c will be the pace car for the 2005 season
