The Future of Holden Racing Team

According to a recent report from the Herald Sun online (www.news.com.au), General Motors' Holden Racing Team (HRT) in Australia has been placed in court for the jury to decide who will take control of the team. The ownership of Holden Racing Team has been disputed by interested parties willing to operate the team including Mark Skaife of Skaife Sports and former HRT owner Tom Walkinshaw. It is up to the Australian jury to decide who among the two interested parties will take the ownership of Holden Racing Team and continue its operation in V8 Supercars car racing category, which is the most popular motor sport in the country as well as in New Zealand. The two parties have previously proposed a structure for the Holden Racing Team, and partnership between the two parties, Skaife and Walkinshaw was included, which only means that Skaife has the right to take control of the Holden Racing Team.

"We have received the documents that were required to be provided by Skaife Sports. And they have been received within the nominated time frame," said TEGA chairman Kelvin O'Reilly. "The issues we are dealing with are complex, which will necessitate a number of detailed discussions with the TEGA board. We are progressing those as quickly as we can, with a view to removing the uncertainty that hangs over the situation as soon as we possibly can." he added.

Australian car racing fans, especially Holden Racing Team fans are thrilled to see whoever takes control and operation of Holden Racing Team, as well as excited to see the team compete in the 2007 season of Australia's V8 Supercars. The Holden Racing Team will debut the Commodore VE in the 2007 season equipped with most likely the 6.0L 270 kW (or more) V8 engine. As expected for GM branded vehicle, the Holden Commodore VE is equipped with quality GM parts like powertrain components, GM radiator, and chassis system.

Meanwhile, the report also said that injured driver Paul Radisich of Team Kiwi Racing will take a thorough checkup as he decide to enter the V8 Supercar in spite of his condition. The New Zealand driver crashed his Holden Commodore in an opening practice session for the Super Cheap Auto 1000 at Bathurst last October.
