Depends how it's geared.

Triple Eight are one of the lucky ones that has a strong customer base.

Given Schipkie was declared bankrupt in Jan 2016, just months after buying a share of 888RE, no, Whincup did not buy her share.

Maybe Dumbrell bought those then. But if there's been a heap of creditors chasing payment this asset could have been locked down since then.

Either way, probably only 12 people know the exact story...

According to AA this week... the shareholding now appears to be:

27% R.Dane (thru his Park Lane company)
25% J. Dane
15% P. Dumbrell
15% J. Whincup
10% A. Jackson
8% T. Miles........ for 100%...

...and R. Dane has a control clause, regardless of his shareholding.. apparently..

Whether true or not a control clause (or control by some other way) makes sense. Why would you relinquish hold over something you’d worked hard for. I don’t understand some people’s fascination with why the Danes wanting to still call the shots.

I am sure CL will do very well for himself, remaining within 'the circus' in his inevitable media roles without the emotional and financial involvement of team ownership.

Craig is interested in the media side, much like Mr. Crompton. (If CL does go into business, it'll be a motorsport focused production company like the aforementioned Neil Crompton, Aaron Noonan, Scott Pye and a certain TenTenths member )

Unless a new manufacturer comes along, could 888 find themselves out in the cold come 2020?

It's pretty much guaranteed that the Commodore is dead after the ZB life lifecycle, if it survives on the showroom floors for another 12 months.

If WAU get the Camaro off the ground thanks to the road car conversions and strong American links. 888 no longer required, as WAU have the GM hero car the punters want?

Hard to believe that the best team by a long shot could be dumped again. A more likely outcome would be a short contract extension, but at heavily reduced rate?
