Even Paul could see it's not a worth while investment. His cash went to RBHRT!!

He tipped some money at various stages in the early days, but nothing of note in the last few years.

They have 4 weeks or so, then it evaporates/transmogrifies into something else.... time for haste...

Onto things more interesting...
The 888 4th car wildcard for ‘18. Now we don’t know the pilot just yet (Did someone say Kostecki?) Or what rounds it is going to do (full season?, Bathurst?) A question sits around where it will be run from... Will it run from the 4th 888 slot currently in use by Tekno, meaning Tekno (or whoever runs a car in that slot anyway) needs to find a new pit boom buddy? Any view on branding on this car? Will it score points? Can it win races? What if it dominates? Will it be ‘start and park’? Did 888 just get an extra REC allocation as a free kick, to run an unencumbered strategy on car #888 for next year...? Lotsa questions, no noise around answers... |

Perhaps the chat about a V6TT wildcard is all just a ruse, and all three Triple Eight-prepared cars will run the new engine from the outset?

No, I am sure that whatever restrictions apply on number of wildcard starts will apply. |

Skaifey's prized Golden Child (double champ, double bathurst winner) was even upgraded to Blueprint and raced in '03 and trotted out at Surfers '04 IIRC. With generous inventory of 2013(?) 888 front suspensions, why you upgrade to the latest spec either? |

Interesting to read in AA this week, that despite 888 being the Official Factory Race Team of Holden, that the design, developmemt, testing & homologation of the ZB Commodore for racing, is all being done by 888 at 888’s cost!
There is apparently complaint in the paddock about the cost of parts, panels presumably, which were previously designed centrally at 888 (paid for by Holden) and licenced to teams to make themselves. This can apparently still happen, except 888 seems to be looking to recoup their development costs in the price. Interesting... |

Perhaps if Holden still had a dedicated motorsport department, the deal may have been a lot different?
