    That is a cut & past statement from the GM & HOLDEN days. I wander if they will complain about parity 😂😂

    Fords partnered with redbull in F1, Dakkar, short course etc… as sad as it will be seeing them leave GM, I think their hands were tied with this one

    I'm a 100% TRUE Ford fan from Naboomspruit, Limpopo, South Africa. As sad as I was when 888 anounced their partnership with Chev/Holden, the SAME excitement I have to see their return home to Ford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Their home is whoever pays and supports them the most, brand loyalty is a thing of the past, these 'teams' are just businesses out to make money.

    Triple Eight are not only excellent at building and running a race team. They are very good at running a business and the re-connection with Ford at this time is clearly the best chance to guarantee their future

      No, it’s not… GM aren’t going anywhere. It’s about aligning the brands, ford is partnered with redbull in F1, GTD, dakkar and short course. Their hands were simply tied

      Yep! 110% correct. I have a friend who is a machinist at triple eight race engineering and he said they shook hands with ford long before any of their Camaros even hit the track! Revelation to the public is all about timing

      @nhraandnascarfanatic5907 if they wish to keep sponsorship no option, ford Australia was hoping that gm, would jump in winning team ?? ,but head office in usa big mess, on going government money (billions) to keep doors open , have seen the latest news over there than 900 thousand cars will need engine replacement, they can't keep going losing billion of a dollars each month

    I am always amazed that as soon as an Aussie gets to America they refer to being “Down Under “. No Australian ever says that phrase.

    Really can't blame them for following a forward thinking manufacturer with a strong motorsport focus. Granddad has been good to 888 for years but honestly is of to the nursing home. Still not a team I can support but good on them.

      GM doesn’t care about Australia, their funding shows that. As for Supercars, no matter how it’s done if the Gm/ Holden are not winning most of the races, it’s addressed swiftly. With the other brands there’s all the time in the world. With Toyota joining next year, I hope this stops, and go racing

      @@Davidamadio The problem with Toyota is they won't be stalwarts of the series, their commitment to the series will be thin. They've never needed the series to be relevant in the Australian car market, of which they've dominated. Unfortunately, they'll almost certainly be tourists.

    So, Ford has shafted Dick Johnson again.
    Luckily for 888, all they had to change was the front grill and the engine, everything else stays the same.
    I just hope they realised that 'Ford Performance Racing' is an oxymoron. It should be called 'Ford, Also Ran, Following'.
