The Supercars Hall of Famers have been confirmed to drive the iconic dayglo red and chrome cars in a re-enactment of Triple Eight\u2019s 1-2 finish in the 2010 Bathurst 1000.<\/p>\n

Adelaide organisers announced last year<\/a> that the cars, both restored and owned by Eggleston Motorsport, will feature at the event.<\/p>\n

Lowndes is a regular at the festival but the addition of Whincup, whose team is currently celebrating its new partnership with Ford, is a coup.<\/p>\n

The stars will drive the VE Commodores on the event\u2019s Victoria Park loop circuit and reflect on the famous Bathurst result in the Grand Marque.<\/p>\n

Lowndes won the race alongside Mark Skaife while Whincup was partnered by Steve Owen.<\/p>\n

The triumph placed Triple Eight alongside the legendary Moffat Ford Dealers (1977) and Holden Dealer Team (1984) in recording a Bathurst form finish.<\/p>\n

It came in Triple Eight\u2019s first year after defecting from Ford to Holden, a move the team has reversed with its 2026 move to Mustangs.<\/p>\n

The Adelaide Motorsport Festival will take place from February 28-March 1, with the 1-2 finish to be replicated on the opening day.<\/p>\n

Lowndes will also drive an Arrows A10B Formula 1 car \u2013 a car he sampled at the 2025 event.<\/p>\n
