Backagain has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

What happens if Holden has had a change in strategy, deciding that it only takes one factory team to win, and that there will be no further ongoing support of customer or private entries?

It might force teams from Commodores... but where might they go?

The only current turn-key car supplier (unless you are looking to buy used..) is 888... which is Holden...
That seems to be exactly what is happening, Holden have handed responsibility of all things Supercar to 888 and are basically wiping their hands of it.
It will leave many teams in a precarious position.
Will 2018 be the 888 Supercars championship with 3 entries ?
