Who might replace Mr Lowndes?

I feel if lowndes leaves that team will have big problems, we may say that a sponsor will stay for Whincup but that may not be as true as we think. I know with Van Gisbergan he had to be put in with Jamie, it was set to be Lowndes/ Whincup and then SVG, promote SVG to join Whincup when Lowndes retired but due to no sponsor wanting to back SVG they had to have him with Whincup. Lowndes is the attraction for sponsors and Roland should know it. The amount of sponsors that would leave would be a disaster for Triple 8. Even with Red Bull and Holden they still would struggle to stay with Penske you would think
