I finally got around to watching last weeks F1 race, and had to rewind to check what I thought I had seen. Before the race Shannons presented an add that showed a white sedan with racing number on the door. It was only there for a split second, but how good to see one on national tv during a major sporting event.

Can't believe I did a typo on the heading images/smilies/icon_evil.gif
I hate people spelling Bellett wrong :!:

Well spotted 67GT !! A work collegue who follows F1 said he had seen the same thing. I was watching the race also but musn't have been paying enough attention to the inbetween bits :oops: Could it be one of Dave's Belletts? Can you remember what colour and if sedan or GT?

Hi GTtoo,
It was in the before race ads that they try to bore us with, and only there for a split second. It was definitely a sedan, white ( or off white ) with a black circle on the door for a race number. I have seen the car on here somewhere, but not sure who it belongs to.

There's a link to the whole show on here somewhere.

Yeah without seeing it, it would have been a snippet from the Shannons Club TV episode that featured Gav's teardrop sedan.

Watch the whole episode here!!

My favourite bit is at 9:04 when you can see my green GTR...oh and Gav's sedan blatting dirt behind in high-resolution while being 'filmed under controlled circumstances"!!!


Cheers,


Dave
