When you think about all the years and dollars of development 888 Racing have put into their Ford engines you begin to realise that someone must have paid them a huge amount to turn their back on all that development and start all over again with Holden.

I wonder what that says about the top teams that are currently racing Commodores?

 

Financial pressures on the struggling Betta Electrical group will mean that Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup will be racing at at Phillip Island without the Betta Electrical brand appearing on their cars or uniforms.

Lowndes and his team had already signed a major sponsorship deal with Vodafone for next year and it’s been reported that the team’s cars will be wearing a livery at Phillip Island that hints of that coming sponsorship.
