Lowndes and Whincup defecting?

[Hunter SS]

There is a rumour circulating that they are going to defect back to Holden (apparently it comes from somebody in the know in the television industry)..... they have re-signed with Team Vodaphone... but there is no mention of Ford in the article.....

Apparently there is no mention of it either on their web site.....

Apparently Team Vodaphone were mightily pissed off when Ford withdrew their funding.

See a Ford badge on this vehicle?

Apparently it was in protest at the funding withdrawn.... who knows.... lets hope that "IF" they change to Holden, they can still win in them!!

It will be interesting to see if there is any truth in it.

It would be good to have Whincup on our side... he is an exceptional driver!!

I hope they make the move.

It doesn't surprise me really, I remember hearing about how the team had an argument with ford at the start of the season.

Does it actually matter they are switching? At the end of the day, the only difference in the cars is a little badge and the shape of the shell.

Why would you make the move from a winning car you know the ins and outs of ?.

If they defected, that will be from holden 2 ford back 2 holden.

they use different heads too... the current ford engines have more power solely because of the head work.
Same suspension, same fuel system... blah blah blah.... bring back production racing :thumbsup:
