Castrol April Competition.

[g2s]

Just when it's getting time to drag out the Castrol hoody you won at Xmas.
Castrol have pillaged the store room again for us, and have delivered a truck load of Castrol EDGE, a fistful of BP fuel cards and a Castrol racing jacket signed by Greg Murphy.

To enter;
'Find the most obscure Castrol sponsored car'. Must include a picture and brief description to be eligible. You may enter more than once.
The competition will run for the month of April 2010 and will close Midnight Friday the 30th of April 2010. The draw will be made by Castrol representatives the following week.

So up for grabs is:

1 x Casrtol Racing jacket signed by Greg Murphy.
5 x Castrol EDGE oil packs (Castrol EDGE viscosity to suit your engine type) - 15L for each winner (3 x 5L packs)
10 x $50 BP fuel cards

Pat Crea's Traco Oldsmobile V8 VW driven by Darrylyn Huitt, Australian Sports Sedan Series 1974

Racing at the time when Frank Gardner’s Chev Corvair almost unintentionally killed off the category. Much of the Gardner car’s hardware came from the Lola T332 running gear.


This was a valiant attempt to comply with changes to the CAMS rules. CAMS decided to change the rules to specify that the engine had to be placed in the same relationship to the rear axle as the standard road car.

Thus the V8 VW Bettle was born.
