Its about where the money is. Ford & Holden have poured $millions into V8SC over the last 10 or so years because they saw some percieved commercial return for their headline brands (i.e. Falcon & Commodore). This has allowed V8SC to gain a dominant position in its market - it has become the gorilla of Australian motor racing. However you can liken what's happening now with speculation about the category's future to speculation about the real gorillas future. Its habitat is rapidly changing which puts under threat. Unlike the unlucky gorilla, V8SC has the chance to re-invent itself at the point when it becomes completely obvious that it cannot carry on in its current format. Only question is, will TC and the boys recognise that defining moment??
