Thanks Towie, glad to see our sport back in the main stream media with a top class add, also good to see AB get a run and Dyno's pride and joy as well.

There's 2 other versions of it I think - another 30 sec one and a 60 sec one.

There all good and Pink's not a bad face to have as "the face".

Have I got my wires crossed??? I know the ad was pretty much aired for the first time last night, but wasn't there supposed to be a season V8SC launch in Syd last night with all the teams etc??

If so, wtf is the coverage. Absolutely nothing in media, print, TV, radio.....if the launch really was last night, makes you wonder why they bother chucking a s.....load of money at an ad compaign.

If I am wrong about last night, then this comment is irrelevant.:D

Great AD for Pink, can't see it doing much for V8 Supercars as people who don't watch motor racing wouldn't have a clue who else was in the AD.

Those people don't have to know who else is in the ad.
The target audience is not the "died in the wool" motor racing fan as those fans are already in the fold.
The target audience is a totally different demographic that they are trying to attract to the show.
You and I might be happy with some great race footage but others need different incentives to come and have a look.

agree Gerry, its a bit like the old Tina Turner League adds from the late 80's, it doesnt matter who is in them.

I have had guys and girls from work come up to me in the last 3 days and comment on it already and how cool it is, this can only be good for V8 Supercars in general.

At least in the Tina Turner Ad's they showed people playing league, there wasn't one action shot of the cars in Pinks AD.

DJR-FAN and I had a few beers together last night, and mentioned the "launch". Here in regional coastal NSW we have received nothing in the way of news of the "launch", so whatever they are doing to promote the season, including the $5M ad, it isn't working.

I am not just talking about mainstream media either.....Speedcafe and others have not given any coverage of a launch in Syd. There's not even a hit on Google for it...it just takes you to the ad.

Did it really happen???

There really wasn't much hype at all, was there even in Brisbane, it didn't even make the news i don't think.

so right, did it really happen?[sh]

Guys

I finally found something from another forum site by chance. This stuff also includes some Youtube footage from QR this week. Have a look.

Have a gander at the TC interview too. He reminds me of Kenny Callender...you know..."so there ya go Tappy, every f....n horth with and esth in histh name....what do ya reckon, a bit of a thet up" [crackup].

I probably shouldn't say that sorta thing but honestly, having only been involved again with V8s recently, I think DJR-FAN's comments about "notions of grandeur" are right on....this bloke thinks he's Eccelstone. He's clearly not because mainstream media couldn't give a f... about it. All they reported on was how much Pink was paid for the ad.

Anyway, here's the link.
