I'm sure everyone has heard the news of FORD pulling out funding for T8RE (and DJR). Whatever happens, if Lowndes follows 888 back to Holden [ link ], or maybe even to Toyota (if they join the V8s), or somehow forced by FORD to drive for SBR or FPR, i will still be a Craig Lowndes fan. Always have. Always will.Oh. And btw. If i wasn't involved with the TeamVodafone site, i would not have known

Craig Lowndes had ended Race 1 in 3rd position after starting from 9th on the grid. TeamVodafone teammate Jamie Whincup won the race. Channel 7, after fighting off very hard to get the V8 rights from Channel 10, will be showing the race here in Perth at 4:30pm. Thank You Channel 7, for every round, without fail, you somehow make me lose more and more interest in the V8s.

" ... Former Clipsal 500 winner Craig Lowndes had a sauna installed at his Queensland property as part of his preparation. He's even spent time in it wearing his race suit to try to get accustomed to the heat and humidity while dressed for driving."Clipsal is the hottest race we do," he said.

Craig Lowndes has ended the season in 3rd position. its still a pretty good result, considering the bad start Lowndes and TeamVodafone had. Lowndes still had a slim chance going into the last round to win the championship. but all hopes were lost after Race 2, although Lowndes still played his part for TeamVodafone and protected team mate Jamie Whincup during the last race, even powering his way

i'm back from my holidays and glad to see Lowndes stage a strong fight back to end Round 12 in Bahrain in 6th, winning Race 3 along the way. Lowndes now sits 2nd on the Championship table, 10 points adrift of GT.

Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup won the Bathurst 1000 for the second year in a row. The last 15 laps of the 161 laps was were all the action took place when it started to rain and was too heart stopping to describe.

Craig Lowndes has set the fastest time during practice session at Eastern Creek pool track. Finally a bright spark for this year. Let's hope it continues to be wet for the races, cos it's looking good for the rainmeister Lowndes who seems to like this track very much and always goes pretty well here.Eastern Creek is also where Lowndes scored 888's first win two year's ago.ps.

Some people have been complaining that they just want to subscribe to the mailing list but not the competition. So the subscription module has been added in again. You can now still sign up to the official site's mailing list without having to join the current competition.

Both the new Team Vodafone and Triple Eight Race Engineering websites are looking good. Similar in design but still some major backend differences. We just completed the Quality Assurance tests earlier today. Some modifications needed. But it should be able to complete in time. Still some niggling CSS problems to sort out. And the Flash on the Team Vodafone site. Well we have decided to go simple

Happy New Year to Craig Lowndes and all you Lowndes fans out there. Lowndes has again been voted 6th best touring car driver in the world (i'll put up the source here once i can find it). Last year Lowndes also came in 6th (read the Jan 2006 archive). Of note. Lowndes was ahead of RK (who came in 8th) this year.Anyways. Boredom is the name of the game till Clipsal 500. So we can all only wait.

I got the following off a V8 forum ...After just watching the movie Cars, it is without any doubt that RK must have watched the movie prior to Phillip Island. Rick based himself on "Chick Hicks" (very similar really) in the movie, punting out the contenders. Even on the podium collecting his trophy for the championship, everyone booed Chick, while the spectators were calling the runner up the

the following scan is from the latest issue of Motorsports News Magazine. and here's what the caption says.Race 3, Lap 4:Rick Kelly hits Lowndes in the rear on the way into Honda, above. The T8 Ford pitched sideways and into Todd Kelly, top right, and was just starting to move when hit by an unsighted Will Davidson, right. Three stops were made to replace damaged tyres, below, but Lowndes remains

Dear SantaHave we Lowndes fans been bad people this year? Cmon Santa. I think you need to get with the times and get on the Internet. and read the millions of Blogs out there. Us Lowndes fans have been a good bunch this year. What happened at Phillip Island? You took away our most wanted Christmas Present. To get a second behind a pRick is no fun at all. Although lucky for us. One of your

Craig Lowndes and Triple Eight have accepted the decision of a hearing yesterday which upheld RK as the champion this year. but being a fan's champion. and a driver's champion, Lowndes has deservingly won the Barry Sheene Medal for the 2nd time in a row, making Lowndes the only winner since Marcos Ambrose." The Barry Sheene medal is awarded to the driver who shows outstanding leadership,

Craig Lowndes has lost out the 2006 Australian V8 Supercars Series to Holden cry baby Rick Kelly. both drivers were level on points after Race 2 to set up an interesting battle for Race 3. but RK hit Lowndes on lap 2 of Race 3, which caused a bent steering on the 888 mobile when he spun and got hit by Will Davidson's car, hence handing the championship to an undeserving RK. RK did get a drive

The Betta Electrical sponsorship for the Triple 8 cars has finally come to an end after months of speculation on whether they could maintain the payments after they went into receivership.
