If you had the money

[TBMATT05]

Enough of us, have talked about owning our V8 Supercar teams if we of course had the money to get it up and running. But if you did have the money, what would you team look like, who would be your team name, drivers and where you be based etc.

Here's mine:

Other Programs: Konica Series and Carera Cup
Konica Driver(s): 79. Stepthen White and 78. Tony Ricciardello

Ok that's enough day dreaming

If I had the money the last thing I would invest in would be a race team, and I certainly wouldn't be spending too much bloody time on racing forums.

[GTRMagic]

In the one I bought, I would make $10m profit a year And win just about everything not nailed down

[Big Trev]

Oh, if that's the case send me info and I'm in. :-)

bugger v8s, i want a two car holden v6 team for procar.

[pete55]

I'd have Ambrose and Rick Kelly as my two drivers, cars probably Commodores. Enduro drivers Ingall and Seton.

[Arai GP5]

I'd also have Ambrose as the NUMERO UNO - but I'd be too scared about his impending overseas (NASCAR) ambitions!!!

TBMatt05, this scenario has already been lived out by one person...

Name: Thexton Motor Racing
Car: Ford Falcon AU/BA
Base: Queensland
Other Programs: Konica and Sport Sedans
Drivers: David Thexton and Steven Voight...

[Big Trev]

One of the funniest I have ever seen is this version of Team EnZed (pinched from someone at V8 Central a fair while ago)

[Matt H]

That wasn't from v8 central that is my 10/10ths fantasy team from last year.

I would have Ambrose and Lowndes in falcons with Steve Richards and Murph for the enduros. Sponsored by Bundy rum or XXXX Beer maybe with a taxi company onboard, so there is free booze and a free ride home.

[Matt H]

kixx, better the second time, and looking good too

You would have to get to queensland and the only condition is that the trip has to be a pub crawl.

The launch would be a keg party in my back yard with a bbq.

Well I definitely wouldn't be the first person to have moved to Queensland from Adelaide over the past few weeks to take up employment at a race team (before anyone starts rumours - they weren't drivers).

Sorry for the plagiarism, but it was so good I had to have a copy.

[Antrodemus]

Itching for some action eh?

The Team Sheepshagger car and the Bundaberg car were both used as 'liveries' in last year's V8 Supercar Fantasy Championship right here on Ten Tenths, by Armco Bender and Greencardy respectively.

As far as the '04 Fantasy Champs go, I've got the launch for that pencilled in for March 1, or whenever the last few drivers are confirmed. So I guess you'll see my dream team then.
