PAYCE AND BRIAN BOYD SPONSOR MUSTANG SALLY'S RETURN TO TRACK FOR JUNE 2015 TCM CHAMPIONSHIP

• June 11th, 2015.
  Sydney:

Brian Boyd and PAYCE have now added the TCM series to their roster as primary sponsor of Mustang Sally in the Touring Car Masters series for 2015.

John Bowe's Mustang Sally has been sidelined since its appearance at Symmons Plains in March, when, in John's absence overseas, it was driven to four outright wins and a new lap record by Steve Johnson.

With John Bowe debuting a new Torana SL/R 5000 for Gary O'Brien at the last round at Winton and announcing he would stay in the seat for Darwin to help in the car's ongoing development, the future of Mustang Sally in the TCM series was not certain.

Ford Fans support 'Fan Fund' along with PAYCE'S Brian Boyd and Corporate Sponsors.

John Bowe's enthusiastic and loyal fan base, along with many corporate sponsors, have come on board with sufficient funding to not only get the Mustang Sally/Steve Johnson combo to Darwin, but also to all remaining rounds in 2015.

Many Ford fans in particular had expressed their disappointment through social media and were quick to respond with support when John initially put forward a plan to 'fan fund' Mustang Sally and Steve's appearance at Darwin. The response was enormous and generated funds for the Darwin race and the remaining races for the 2015 season of the TCM series.

With PAYCE as the car's primary sponsor for the Darwin event, the team has unveiled new livery, featuring a fresh look with PAYCE colours.

John Bowe said: "I have to give a special thanks to my long time sponsors, including Brian Boyd and his company, PAYCE, for clinching a deal that makes it possible for us to not only go to Darwin, but also to all four remaining rounds in the second half of the year," he said.

PAYCE Managing Director Brian Boyd, an avid motorsport supporter, said it was a pleasure to help John achieve his plan.

"I have known JB for many years, and he was genuinely disappointed, particularly for his fans, at the prospect of not taking Mustang Sally to Darwin and other rounds," Mr. Boyd said.

"John always has his fans' interests in mind and I'm sure they will get lots of satisfaction and entertainment when John and Steve going head-to-head at Darwin and the remaining rounds of the TCM championship," continued Brian Boyd.

John Bowe said he was indebted to everyone who contributed to Mustang Sally's return and was working on how best to acknowledge their support.

John said he had been 'blown away' by the support from all around Australia.

"Right from when I put the plan on the table, support started rolling in and with many of my faithful corporate sponsors joining in, we have been able to achieve our goal and surpass all expectations."

"The response has been overwhelming and I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart," he said.
