| The difference is ford are seperate teams. Holden use the new car for one team then share all info when other teams use new car next season |

| I tend to agree that they would have been better off starting a new season with plenty of time to iron out the bugs between seasons. Would be nothing worse for a team trying to set up a bew car while trying to win / get points in the races. Will be interesting to see how many teams bring out the new model during 2008. I'll take a wager that it will probably be teams not in the hunt for the championships and want some extra tv coverage especially being one of the first teams with the new model on the track. Time will tell i suppose. |

| THE next generation Ford Falcon V8 Supercar is a potential starter at next year’s Bathurst 1000. Ford Racing manager Ray Price said the next generation race car shells and panels, based on the 2008-model "Project Orion" Falcon, would be delivered to the V8 teams from the first half of next year, making a 2008 enduro race debut a real possibility. New car models can only be h0mologated at the start of a season or midyear. If the "Orion" Falcon race car is hom0logated on July 1, 2008 it will be eligible for next year’s Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000. Price said having the race car on track so soon after the launch of the road car (early in the second half of 2008) would be big marketing opportunity for the sport and allow Ford to get exposure for the new Falcon. But he admitted such a tight timetable could put a potential championship win at risk. "I won’t say we won’t be there in ‘08 and I won’t say we will," he said. "It is a possibility to be ready in time for Bathurst. Whether it is desirable is not something I can answer at this stage. |
