It's interesting in the many interviews I have seen with him in the last year, he doesn't seem to have much long term commitment to V8 Supercars, plus has mentioned going overseas. I suspect once he cements his place in Australia with more wins or a championship, he'll be off to foreign lands.

Anywhere but Holden or U.S.A. racing round and round and round in circles for a few hundred laps.

Personally I'd like to see him racing sportscars in europe, but that's not likely, even though I think he'd do extremely well.

A bit off topic, but with this talk of T8 going across to Holden, what will happen to there join investment with SBR on the engine program?? As they went into partnership with SBR, as Roland said why should we spend on an engine program after he bought the team of Briggs.
To see Craig and Jamie back over at Holden would be nice. But what a kick in the pants for all those people who actually threw all of the bits they had of Craig's when he was at Holden. |

IIRC, there's nothing in the rules that prevents a car wearing bodywork of company A using the engine from company B. The convention and demands of funding might be an impost, but if such a thing wasn't an issue.....
We're getting off topic here, so how about Whincup racing at Le Mans in the Dome Toyota Hybrid on a weeekend off from his 888 Tojo committments? |

Jamie has a contract to Triple Eight until the end of 2009. If he does move anywhere, it will not be until 2010. He would be mad to leave Triple 8...
