A fourth manufacturer has been announced to enter V8SC's next year.

Yep and then there were four!

I do not think there will be too many Ford teams left.

I wonder who will be the next manufacturer to join?

 

[KraftyPg]

Considering the way Ford treated their teams a few years ago they don't really deserve any teams and if nothing else it's good to see long term Ford teams jumping ship.

Which company's got the money and pull to get DJ out of a blue oval?

I thought I heard a rumour that Chrysler were putting an entry in too? Anyone else hear that?

Krankin will be in the foetal position somewhere.

 

[KraftyPg]

Chrysler still haven't been confirmed. There was something about the rules not suiting them enough to sign on the dotted line but they haven't yet said no from what I remember.

 

[Jason]

And is it true that Vodafone sponsorship stops next year and Red Bull are picking up from them?

Never mind, found it: http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-s...8-supercars-team/story-fn2ms9um-1226440260600

 

[KraftyPg]

The end of sponsorship is correct, Vodaphone are getting rid of a bucket load of sponsorship worth about $140mill or something. Not sure who they are going to though. I would like to see their major sponsor become Hogs Breath, we can never have enough ads with Craig and Jamie dancing in racing suits

 

[tagMan]

Red Bull will be the new major sponsor.

Ford will only have DJR (4) and FPR (3) so seven cars left. Maybe a few other minor players.

Hopefully some more Ford money flows to DJR - I like the history.

 

[BravoBrad]

No real surprise on red bull. The Red bull cap has been floating around the 888 stand way too much.

 

[KraftyPg]

You would reckon that the history that man created for Ford racing would be more than enough for them to keep giving him money. Despite the fact that it seemed to mean jack shit to them a few years ago when they reviewed their sponsorship deals with all Ford teams.

Nothing wrong with Chrysler.......they own that legend called HEMI. kneel before thee. we are not worthy....

 

[Jason]

Go the Hemi 6 pack.

 

[Krankin]

now then...
got nissan and merc on board, .....a new calender entry race at Austin, Texas rumored to be backed up with a race in Mexico City....

I'd rather they kept to themselves and stayed in Australia and New Zealand.

Might have to beat the shit out of the guards to fit the regulation tyres on.

yes I concur....but as you know, many do the female whine about it being only red v blue
