Marcos Ambrose calls it a day !

Postby Reslotted » Thu Nov 12, 2015 1:32 am

Seems like Marcos Ambrose has called it quits as a professional driver.
After returning to Australia late last year when Roger Penske decided to put his toe into Aussie V8 Supercars. He pulled the plug on the drive full time after only a couple of rounds in and left the full time duties to a Young Bloke called Scott Pye. Ambrose stepped back into the fold as a co driver for Bathurst and the other Endurance Races, but somewhere it seems like the fires gone out and Penske and DJR have signed Fabian Coulthard to the second seat for next year.
So Farewell Marcos thanks for the memories. But 10 years away is a long time and time stands still for no man (even dual champions). I think maybe it would have been better if he'd just come home and retired full stop. It was kind of sad seeing him having his backside handed to him on a plate like that. But best of luck to him and whatever he does now.

Always liked Marcos. Met him working the NASCAR race at Sear Point (Infineon). Felt like he brought a different view to NASCAR and was one of those drivers that everybody rooted for. Sorry to hear he has retired.

So long to him and thanks for all the memories.
