Thought this would be an interesting subject to chat about well before the start of 2010 season.
Now it’s well known that TW and RD have been competing against each other in motorsport for many years prior to meeting in the V8SC championship.
It pretty obvious that RD is coming to Holden for a few reasons other than sticking it to Ford and getting some manufacturer $$$. One of them is he wants the chance to win a championship for Holden and in doing so knock off TWR/HRT as the No.1 Holden team.
What I'd like to know how many LS1 forum members are going to swap their allegiance from HRT and support TeamVodaphone and CL/JW?
CL back in a Holden is a big drawcard.
When I mean support I don't mean cheer for whichever team is leading or winning races at any given round. I mean putting the HRT merchandise/clothing back in the cupboard and pull out their hard earned to purchase Team Vodaphone clothing/merchandise. The gear you will were to the track if you like.
For me I think it needs to be this way because next year championship is going to be a ding dong scrap between the two factory backed Holden teams.
TWR does not like to lose, especially to RD so I think their will be a clearly defined line between the two teams and this will include the fan base.
Look at this weekends Sandown antics, RD accuses HRT of cheating and lodges the complaint with the stewards regarding the 22 car in race 13 which the stewards deemed as nonsense but now there’s an appeal and on it goes. http://www.v8supercars.com.au/content/hero_news/august_2009/tit_for_tat_protest/
This sort of stuff I can see going on in 2010 which will divide people’s opinions and where their loyalties lay.
It’s a problem that Holden has but it’s a nice one to have. Holden win either way but obviously the Holden Racing Team needs to win and topple 888's race for the top step.
Thoughts???
btw i would have made this a poll to make things simpler but wasn't sure how to do it. Mods feel free to do so if you like.
