*** LUMPY BUM RACING Press Release ***

Drivers, and Sponsors, all good and sticky.

Its with great pleasure that after negotiations with several companies, LUMPY BUM RACING team manager Matt H announces Anusol as its new major sponsor along with Pringles. Also, leading dairy company Bulla, have signed for the year as a minor sponsor with "Bulla Whipped Cream" signage to be placed upon the team cars.

Anusol CEO Hugh Jass explains, "Its a major part of our corporate strategy to increase our exposure of our rectal cream product. We looked at a few options which may have served our purpose, including personally sponsoring Mark Skaife, but we finally decided with LUMPY BUM RACING as it would be a win-wion situation for both entities, and also we beleive that the 3 drivers in the team will be able to maximise our sales output."

Bulla market director Mr Whippy."Whipped cream on a race car, why not??"

Matt H also last night was able to sign Garth Tander to LUMPY BUM RACING after his strong performance whilst driving the Mr Whippy van round Albrt Park last weekend. Garth will don the #22 in a homage to great cricketing commentator, Ritchie Benaud.

Garth, "The double chocolate with nuts in a waffle cone is my favourite."

Matt H, "Bring on Adelaide, if its hot, the van should be going off."

[Dirk]

It is a little odd that nobody has chosen Steven Richards, he finished in the top of the championship and is a consistent driver. Very surprising.

EMBARGO-11.30am 12/03/04.
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE.

One of V8 Supercars most well known and self proclaimed legends, Dick Scrout, today announced the formation of one of the most satisfying V8 Teams ever. To be known as TART Racing(Toyato Australia Racing Team) will see Japan's newest manufacturer 1st foray into Aussie V8's.

Dick, who was joined by Toyato CEO Nippon Slippon, anounced the new Team at a glittering reception held at the Long Dong Silver establishment for gentlemen.
"I'm here today to announce not only the errection of this very formidable Team but also to welcome our two new drivers and sponsors".
TART Marketing Manager, Bambi Full, took to centre stage with Russell Ingall and Rick Kelly.
"I'm so excited to have both Russell and Rick driving for us" said Bambi, "and to be working under the lengendry Dick is a dream come true.
"After seeing Russell and Rick racing against each other at the GP last week and knowing the close friendship they have with each other, I made it my sole mission to sign both drivers this week. It was hard, but in the end niether driver could resist what I was offering" said Bambi.

Two major sponsors were announced, being Hardon Condoms and Y-K Jelly. "The synergy between these two fantastic Companies was to good to be true and I can assure all of our supporters that I personally use a lot of these Companies products" said Bambi.

Dick said that he and Bambi have been working around the clock to put this deal to bed. TART have secured an old Brothel for the teams HQ and will renovate some of the old rooms for supporters and sponsors to stay over.
The two Toyato Camerars have arrived from Japan where they were factory built to TEGA requirements.

TC was also at the launch and was impressed by the surroundings. "This is f----- great news for V8 Supercars which is now the most viewd sport in the entire universe. Having Toyato on board is f------ good news. A third manufacturer is needed now that we will be runing events on the Moon next year and hopefully Mars or Youranus in 2006. Anyone who says we don't need another brand is a f----- idiot. ******s out there don't know what thier talking about. We are in the f---- entertainment business and having Rusty in a new Camerar punting every pr--- off the race track will be f----- brilliant" said TC.

With the announcement over, Condoms blown up like balloons started falling on the gathered crowd as 12 scantilly dressed prostitutes entered the room to thunderous applause. The party is expected to carry on into the wee small hours.

STOP PRESS -- Henry calls for Richo Reinforcement, Odds of Championship win are Even Steven

In an eleventh hour move, Craig Lowndes has left Henry's Heroes for greener pastures. Following one of the Henry's Heroes daily corporate bashes, catered predomoinantly by principal sponsor Victoria Bitter, Craig has terminated his contract, citing irreconcilable beer preferences, seeking employment with a XXXX-sponsored team.

At an impromptu press conference held immediately after the beer ran out, team principal Henry was quoted as saying:" It'sh shahd dat Lowndshey couldn shtay, but ...urp.. ya ged thad. We hadda a yarn wid Shteve Richars an he wans ta havva go, Now wheres that otdog I ordered?"

Lowndes added;"TAXII!"

Richards, always the professional, was on hand as designated driver, and plugged the team sponsors in his first statement as one of Henry's Heroes:
SR:"I'm certainly glad that I've come to Depend on Henry's VB Heroes, as they're a friendly bunch, alway up for Huggies and kissies, and while they're not from Victoria, Bitter they ain't!"

Team Driver Steve Johnson summed up the evening;
"We can win 'em drinkin'
We can win 'em stinkin'
We will win 'em any ol' how....
Unless our motors go 'KAPOW'"

TEAM: Henry's Heroes
SPONSORS: Depend, Huggies, VB

EMBARGO- 5pm 15/03/04.
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE.

It is with much excitement and anticipation that little known engineer Peregrine today announced the formation of Fords newest team, Peregrine Motorsports.

Due to special dispensation by the Australian Federal Government (well the teams abbreviated name is PM !!), Peregrine Motorsports today unveiled their striking Black and Gold JPS BA Falcons. Due to a strategic alliance with SBR the teams cars were constructed under a veil of secrecy at SBR's workshop over the off season.

Associate sponsorship has also been sourced from Ford, Johnnie Walker Black Label,Shell and first time sponsors in motor racing, Goat's House of Ill Repute, who will also provide the grid girls at each event.

In what can only be described as a major coup, Peregrine Motorsports have hired the services of two of V8 Supercars hard chargers in Paul Radisich and Russell Ingall.

Both drivers are quoted as saying that they look forward to the coming season with a budget that should be able to take a few knocks in much the same way that their cars will in their efforts to take the 2004 crown.

A rather jovial Ingall stated that he wants to "smoke the opposition this year !"
