    As expected

    http://www.speedcafe.com/2012/02/28/...-triple-eight/

    Holden has announced an extension of its deals with its leading V8 Supercars teams Walkinshaw Racing and Triple Eight Racing Engineering.

    In what is being described as “multi-year” deals, the Toll Holden Racing Team, run by Walkinshaw Racing, and the multiple-championship winning TeamVodafone, will continue in Holden Commodores in the coming years.

    Walkinshaw Racing enters three cars – two for the factory Toll Holden Racing Team, plus the Supercheap Auto Commodore VE of Russell Ingall.

    Triple Eight runs two cars from its stable for TeamVodafone drivers Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes.

    Combined, the HRT/Walkinshaw and TeamVodafone operations have won 11 of the past 16 Australian Touring Car/V8 Supercar Championships, and the last 11 straight Bathurst 1000s.

    The news is significant, given that V8 Supercars has ‘open the shopfront’ to other manufactures under its new Car of the Future regulations that will be enforced from next year.

    The effect is that it stops either team being enticed by another manufacturer
    Maybe Ford should do the same

    Yep, government can afford that.
    “…The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man are disgraceful to ourselves only…How one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades….A silent great soul, one of that who cannot but be earnest. He was to kindle the world; the world’s Maker had ordered so." - Thomas Carlyle

    Yep once again they work the PR spin well also locking in 888 associated and displaying Olden.
    I agree Andrew Ford should look to do the same.
