Just been looking around the net, rumours abound that apparently 888 racing are shifting to Holdens next year.

Now, is the i wise choice? We all know that Supertaxi's errrr Supercars is heading down the plug hole, but if this is ture, perhaps the series be renamed Super Commodores :lol:

I hope so - it'd be great to see Lowndes back in a Commodore... and Whincup is just about the most consistent driver going round at the moment.... I'm a fan of both, especially Whincup.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Ford trying to fit 4cylinders into the Falcoons..lol

They seriously need to do something with the series.. it's just stale as 100 day old cheese!

Hrmm... saw a thing on the news the other day, with Lowndes and Whincup re signing with 888 till 2012, So they obviously have something planned. Would be a big Get stuffed to Ford, after they pulled their sponsorship for 888

a mate of mine works for stone bros, building the taxi's, and he was saying that 2010 the series is going to a control engine now too

so, its nascar all over again now, as the engine was pretty much the only difference with the cars.
now its just gonna be body panel difference

bring back the big bangers i say... group c was the awesomeness :P

sucked in to ford ...they cant do that (pull sponcership) and then expect that ppl are going to stay loyal...888 fans should not be pissed at 888 they should be pissed at ford.
i personaly follow lowndsey and always have and always will no matter what he is driving
