The Cochrone has gone :shock:
According to "motorsport news", Tony has been fired by a unanimous decision of the board......for inflamatory statements about Channel 10, and F1 in Melbourne.
John Hewson, the former politician, is expected to take over.
It is rumoured that TEGA, and V8Supercars Aust may merge :shock:

What did Tony say to get people so upset. :?:

V8's need him as he is someone that gets things done, he doesn't suffer fools and is not afraid to call things as he sees them. He does rub alot of people the wrong way.
