VIDEO FROM THE VAULT: RUSSELL INGALL CALTEX TV AD

A video from the vault of The Enforcer in a former life …

RUSSELL Ingall’s move to Stone Brothers Racing was a major news story in the 2003 V8 Supercar season, though nothing compared to what happened with he and Mark Skaife later that season at Eastern Creek!

Driving the #9 Caltex Falcon, Ingall’s move to Ford netted him some competitive results and included a win at Queensland Raceway and the Gold Coast in October.

We’ve dug into the vault to find this old TV commercial from the period – it makes us think modern Supercars sponsors don’t do enough work with their sponsorship spend by involving drivers, teams and race cars in their campaigns – do you agree?

Here’s the 2003 Caltex Havoline TVC (TVC stands for TV Commercial!)

V8 Sleuth strives to both preserve and celebrate Australian motorsport’s rich history, from tracking and tracing the race-by-race histories and changing ownership of individual cars, to capturing and retelling the stories of the people who made our sport what it is today.
