Hello everyone.

First post here but hopefully not my last. I was at the Supercheap 1000 over the last week and thought that I would post photos I took of the first three cars home at the end of the race. It may inspire someone to model the cars.
1st, Ford Performance Racing Falcon driven by Mark Winterbottom and Steven Richards. First win at Bathurst by the Ford factory team since 1977..

2nd, Red Bull Racing Australia Commodore driven by Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell.

And in 3rd place the Red Bull car of Craig Lowndes and Warren Luff

I have photos of all the cars in the race so if anyone would like to see one posted just give me a yell.
Cheers
Warren

Thanks Warren. Beautiful pics, any chance of sending them over for a feature? They would make a great future reference

Warren thanks for sharing, I'm a long time fan of V8 Supercars and one day hope to get over to Mount Panarama, in the mean time I get to watch it delayed - live as the TV channel call it.

Fan of GRM or Fijitsui racing as they have been for the last couple of seasons. Let's hope that some one out there produces some kits, I've been waiting a long time.

Oh also a fan of the brut Utes but not seen any of that for a couple of years here in Blighty on the TV

Thank you Warren, I do like the red / gold of the latest livery.

Come on Tamiya give us a Holden (and a Ford to keep them happy)

It is cheaper to buy the 1/18 diecasts than it is the 1/24 Tamiya's..

I have a little 1/43 diecast GRM which I got from Oz some years ago but have never seen 1/18 diecast V8SC over here, I may have to look into the cost of mail order from Oz.

Just checked a GRM 1/18th diecast is A$205 thats £122 plus postage and VAT if caught by customs I think I'll wait for Tamiya or one of the new car guys to do one, it may be a very long wait but I'll wait.

800x600 works perfectly, larger is fine as I'll resize them. Thanks!

@ Littorio, I can get them for a lot less than that.. PM me if you would like some prices. I have over 400 1/18ths in my collection and have lots of contacts.

@James, I will do a little editing and send them very soon.

Cheers
Warren
