Lowndes did say that Roland would let him drive elsewhere if he wanted. That doesn't sound like a bloke who was 100% in control of the announcement?

Perhaps the trouble with his kids' mum was one of the reasons he agreed to go?
I myself have left jobs over similar, when they start turning up unannounced and the like. |

I will throw this concept out there. Penske pick him up for the Enduros, giving him an entrée to their sports car program in the US? A thought??

She might be popular, and she fills some apparent void of a female driver at Holden and 888 that they want filled. but if results don't come relatively quickly it might be a marketing disaster, not the triumph they're anticipating.

The "New artificially created Craig Lowndes replacement" more like it.
And what's this nonsense: ? Quote:

Really popular, 137 votes in the Speedcafe poll at last count. Not a Lowdnes fan after he became the 888 bobber boy but this must be the biggest politically correct con job ever, Holden have obviously put huge pressure on their "factory" team be "inclusive" in order to gain favour with female fans.

Why couldn't Holden just put Jack LB in another seat and give the Tekno drive to SDS?

Wait until the 2020 season and some numpty in Holden marketing comes up with the idea, that they need a transgender one legged Afghan dwarf to race as part of their social inclusion policy! Which driver will Roland flick then?

That's if they're still around by then. There are more "ZB Commodores" on the track right now than there are on the roads. |

YTD sales are on par with monthly averages for VF2.
Not a good sign. |

Smart money suggests Lowndes will be Whincups co-driver next year. So is Dumbrell cooked?
