FTO GPX in Clipsal 500

Post by Blaze »

Just to my curiosity, Saw this today on SBS around 4.30 pm.
This GPX was competing in Australian pro car championship at Clipsal 500 in Goldcoast. It was conerring and slipped and forced the driver to stop a second and was overtaken by Astra (I think), before finished 9th.
Anyone watched this? or anyone here? Anyone know what setup or mods it has? (I should post this under "SPOTTED" thread, nvm)

Soo many stickers.... :x

Thanx ruchi... they did pretty good... but beaten by a celica sx, and by a Satria GTi.... 8O

I guess it's the driver that matters and not the car... like they say :)

No offence to Richard... Well done mate, atleast he's out there... :D

i reckon with a bit of carbonfibre on his front end and boot (like mine), he'd prob be placed 7th instead... :P

good effort for a car that is 8yrs+ old...

I'm surprised by the shocking performances by the BA falcons. Who the hell was driving these things? 8O

Any way good to see an FTO as part of the field. :D
