    Team Vodafone Switch to Holden

    It's expected to be announced in the coming days (as early as tomorrow) that Triple Eight Race Engineering (Team Vodafone) will be switching to Holden next year. HRT will remain the 'factory' Holden team but Triple Eight will be the only other Holden team to recieve funding from the company.

    This will see the return of Lowndes and Whincup to the red side of the fence.

    Good to see they have finally seen the light. I don't think they will be the only ones moving over to Team Red.

    Writing was on the wall when Ford pulled their funding for Triple 8. Still, I think it was a bit of a wank with them refusing to put the Ford bades on their cars this year because of that. Roland Dane's a bit of a sook.

    been talkin to my mate whos an avid 888/ford fan

    my god is he pissed lol
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
