THE last Supercar in Craig Lowndes’ storied journey with Triple Eight Race Engineering remains up for grabs.
Triple Eight boss Jamie Whincup has confirmed to V8 Sleuth that chassis 888A-068 is still on the market.
“We’ve had very strong interest in that car but no deposit has been paid yet, so that car is still available,” he said.
Lowndes spent 21 seasons at Triple Eight, recording 58 championship race wins including six Bathurst 1000 victories.
Having opted to stay aligned with General Motors when Triple Eight elected to rejoin Ford, Lowndes’ next Supercars races will come with Team 18 – sporting the #15 with which he began his career.
888A-068 has just seven races under its belt. It was called into action following the discovery of damage to the centre section of 888A-060 when Cooper Murray was sent skyward at the 2024 Darwin Triple Crown.
That saw 888A-068 step in for that year’s enduros, starting with a Sandown 500 top five for Murray/Lowndes, and continue as the Supercheap Auto wildcard car last season.
That culminated in a 10th place finish for Lowndes/Zach Bates in the wild Great Race of 2025.
The Triple Eight Camaros raced by Will Brown and Broc Feeney the past two seasons had already been sold prior to their final race starts.
The team’s new chapter began yesterday, with Feeney and Jackson Walls shaking down their Mustangs at Queensland Raceway; Brown will get his turn today.
Rick Kelly’s controversial championship-winning Commodore
IT was at the heart of one of the most controversial V8 Supercars title deciders of all-time, with Rick Kelly’s victorious Toll HSV Dealer Team VZ Commodore continuing to race on in 2025.
