This review takes us on a tour through the highlights of this classic DVD, from the birth of HSV through to the E Series introduction. The Start of Something Special Times were pretty tough for Holden in the 1980’s and Holden’s Director of Sales and marketing at the time, Robert McInery, envisaged the development of a “halo” brand to lift Holden’s image with the public and to add another level of technical expertise to it’s ongoing product development. 15 parties responded to Holden’s tender, with the presentation from Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) being the winner. The “Walkinshaw” was designed to achieve a level of aerodynamic efficiency that was lacking in road cars of the time. The body kit had 27 individual fiberglass components. The high boot spoiler was found in the wind tunnel to be the only way to prevent the VL’s rear lifting at speed. It proved itself when it won Bathurst in 1990, under “Group A” regulations. 1990 HSV VN Clubsport The Clubsport represents a model line of enduring popularity for HSV.

  • A Perfect Dawn for Creation As LMS Prepares for 2008
    THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT IN TOUCH [ www.injection.tv ] ISSUE THREE, APRIL 2008 A perfect dawn for Creation as LMS prepares for 2008 Fast fit retailing company HiQ is offering 20 per cent discount on race-inspired Dunlop tyres at stores across the county to co-incide with its three-year title sponsorship of the British Touring Car Championship. The deal was formally announced at the BTCC media day held at Rockingham in March ahead of the season opener at Brands Hatch on March 30. The British Touring Car Championship enjoys the support of Dunlop as the sole tyre supplier, as do major touring car series around the world, including the DTM and the Australian V8 Supercar series. HiQ is in the process of a big expansion around Britain and believes that the BTCC will help to raise the profile as it seeks to open a further 100 stores in the UK. For the BTCC, celebrating its golden anniversary in 2008 with an official entry list featuring 27 cars, the long-term partnerships formed with HiQ and terrestrial television in the UK are key to the success of the series. Jamie Campbell-Walter on his way to third fastest time overall at Paul Ricard BTCC Series director Alan Gow explains: "Stability is vital not only for the championship, but for the competitors. It gives them the opportunity to know Dunlop leads the fight against diesel as what the programme is and they can plan around it and make sure that everything is in place. You don’t need to find out Creation sets third fastest time at Ricard every year what the television package is, for example.

  • DESCRIPTION of the ADVERTISEMENT This Television Advertisement Features a Young Boy Sitting in a Holden Commodore Making Revving
    1. Complaint reference number 78/03 2. Advertiser Holden Ltd (Commodore) 3. Product Vehicles 4. Type of advertisement TV 5. Nature of complaint FCAI - Other 6. Date of determination Tuesday, 8 April 2003 7. DETERMINATION Dismissed DESCRIPTION OF THE ADVERTISEMENT This television advertisement features a young boy sitting in a Holden Commodore making revving and gear-change noises in pretending to be a racecar driver. As if commentating on a race, he says: “And here comes Skaifey in his Holden Commodore. It looks like he’s going to take the lead….wow, great driving. Skaife is up into first place. Gee that Commodore really is a super car—15 wins at Bathurst , 7 championship titles—and the driver? Well, this kid is better than Mark Skaife ever was.” At this point he looks up to see Mark Skaife standing beside the car. After a momentary pause, the boy moves the sun visor to block out his view of the racecar driver and continues his play. A caption-supported voiceover states: “Holden Commodore— Australia ’s favourite car.” The advertisement ends on a graphic incorporating the advertiser’s logo and a strap line reading: ‘Holden. Drive on.’ THE COMPLAINT Comments which the complainant/s made regarding this advertisement included the following: “A little irresponsible as children can presume that access to the family car is safe and approved, regardless of the very real risk of fire and runaway situations.” THE DETERMINATION The Adverting Standards Board [‘the Board’] considered whether this advertisement breaches the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries Voluntary Code of Practice [‘the FCAI Code’].
