Well it had to happen , the drain on funds developing those cars was exhausting and to continue in the category more sponsor dollars from Mercedes were a must. Still it is a shame that there will be more GM's on the grid getting closer to a one make series all the time.
After two consecutive days of announcements from Erebus, they have revealed that they have chosen to race Holden VF Commodores in the 2016 V8 Supercars Championship.
Erebus Motorsport owner, Betty Klimenko is confident the change will enable the team to challenge for wins and podiums on a more regular basis.
“Holden has proved its competitiveness in the sport again and again,” Klimenko said.
“Erebus has experienced success, but with the switch to Holden combined with our experienced team personnel in Barry Ryan and Campbell Little, and David Reynolds behind the wheel, we have every chance to win more often.”
Driving the #9 Penrite Racing Erebus Motorsport VF Commodore, Reynolds is looking forward to getting back into a Holden.
“I made my V8 Supercars debut in a Commodore, but since I last raced a Holden the series moved into the Car Of The Future era,” Reynolds said.
“Since then, the VF Commodore has proven to be the car of choice and I see the change to Holden as a positive for Erebus Motorsport.”
“I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of a Commodore and together with Erebus growing a strong relationship with Holden.”
Reynolds and Russell will race in Erebus Commodore at the Clipsal 500 on March 3-6.
