Default Put your passion to the test. Join the Falcon Fanatics

Dear Falcon Fanatics,

Few cars have stirred the hearts of Australians quite like the Ford Falcon. Now with the release of the best ever Falcon FG X, we’re calling on people who don’t just own a Falcon, but are fanatical about it.

That’s why we’re offering you the opportunity to join V8 Supercar champion Mark ‘Frosty’ Winterbottom in the filming of the FG X Falcon launch video.

Together with other Falcon Fanatics, you’ll be able to get up close to the FG X Falcon and meet Frosty. It’s all part of an exciting day of activities.

Filming will take place for the full day on October 17th at a secret location near Melbourne. We want you to bring your stories, your passion. And most of all your courage.

This is only available to a limited number of fans. So, to be a part of the Falcon Fanatic experience, register now.

Follow the link to sign up now: http://www.ford.com.au/falcon-fanatic-reg

Fanatically yours,


Bob Graziano
Ford President and CEO

And on that point guys do the right thing and only fill in the form if you are attending. Would be a shame if people missed out because interstaters like us took the 300 spots with no intention of attending.

Hopefully it suggests that Ford will extend its racing contract with FPR and (maybe extend it to DJR-Penkse )as part of promoting the new falcon.

I may have registered. Anyone that suggests they cannot drive from Adel or Cbr or Sydney for this event is just plain slack Once in a lifetime opportunity. Besides the ute could use a nice cruise luckily I'm changing the front bar though

Talking Re: Put your passion to the test. Join the Falcon Fanatics

Judging from the comments and the end product , I am guessing the day was a real hoot ! . Pleased Ford / FPR , have finally realized , and have begun to demonstrate to us all that they are listening , and I really hope , following the out pouring to participate , they stay fat with FPR
I sorry I wasn't in Melbourne to have been able to attend .
When Moffat spoke during his commercial , and hit the noise pedal I was hooked , it's a shame , they didn't have Forsty deliver a similar line , to recapture the heads of those souls sit sitting in the land of H
