Let's not forget that 888 is responsible for the resurgence of many of the Ford teams, by supplying most of their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may aswell own V8 supercars and supply holdens and fords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azasturbo Member 206 Member For: 16y 2d Posted 28/07/09 04:52 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 04:52 AM What do you base those theories on?I have just never been a fan of either that is all, Lowndes is just to cheesey and fake that smirk makes me want to punch him in the face. Whincup I thought was a good guy till he started bagging ford for not supporting him early in his carreer and im still puzzled as to why they would have supported him when he drove for Holden. Neither of them have any loyalty to any brand and for mine that's what V8s are about Ford vs Holden.Im a Frosty fan from a drivers perspective and a SBR fan team wise and that's the way its always been and will stay no matter who does the winning, Most of 888 fans just supported them because they started winning so those fans will be no great loss to the ford fold either.

azasturbo Member 206 Member For: 16y 2d Posted 28/07/09 04:56 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 04:56 AM Yeah I just heard that on the radio too, they said it's because of lowndes & whincups long dispute with Ford & they will be moving over to the Expensive Daewoo camp next year.....WTF.... Ford are F@cked to allow these two top drivers to walk away!This is directed at the report not you jaymenWonder what Lowndes long dispute they are referring to, perhaps its the dispute over why Ford paid him so much to not win a championship and get beaten by his team mate who was paying for a drive. Whincups dispute is that ford didnt suport him early on - seeing he drove for Expensive Daewoo and came to ford as a nobody and Ford gave him a team mate to win bathurst with, sponsired the team he drove for etc etc but they did nothing for him.As I said before cheesy ungrateful pricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
