Will the last to leave switch off the lights.
And so it goes, another Motor Industry GM bites the dust.
A rudderless ship I wonder what the flow-on effect will be for V8's ? |

Since Chris Liddell is helping steer the global ship, maybe a Kiwi could be hired to steer the local ship

There have been three Holden heads internally promoted within the GM organisation recently, surely that shows the strength of how Holden is held in Global terms with in GM. I have thought for a while that reducing manufacturer involvement in V8s would be a good thing, irrespective of how it occurred. Didnt hure 888 last year much did it? I don't see them locking the gates at Fishos anytime soon. |

If Holden pulled out, all that would change is there would be a little less money to go round the Holden teams. So nothing would change and the V8s would go on. |

Because the way its managed, it sucks the life out of everything around it. And it really isn't *that* great after all.

That question assumes that V8 Supercars is inherently good for motorsport. I haven't seen any evidence of that.

It's good for the thousands of people who love the sport to the extent that they wish to make it their full-time occupation. They are only able to do so thanks to the commercial success of VESA.

I too believe he was promoted within the group - on the converse, this would indicate the strength of Holden in the GM group! The move is hardly a negative one would think?
