Love him or hate lowndes will be back. Cheers Marty Ford haven't been funding the team for a while - you'll notice there is no Ford signage anywhere on the car. The blue oval on the grille was replaced with the Hogs Breath Cafe logo some time ago. It wasn't an amicable split... It'll be interesting to see what Triple Eight can do with a Commodore. While Whincup is clearly an awesome driver, his Falcon is clearly faster than the rest of the pack...

Funding was only dropped at the end of last year,Lowndes personal contract ends with ford this year,As now drivers cannot have a personal contract with the manufacturer(cars were known in the team as hogsters)
