Penske Racing global president bewildered by Blue Oval’s abandonment of V8 Supercars

Having just committed to running two Ford Falcon FG Xs in the V8 Supercar Championship in 2016, Penske Racing’s global president Tim Cindric has expressed his bewilderment at Ford Australia’s determined efforts to abandon the category.

And he has also signalled that lack of interest could result in Penske switching to another brand as soon as 2017.

Despite a massive Australian touring car racing heritage, the Blue Oval ceases all connection with V8 Supercars at the end of this year, when its now minor deal with former factory team Prodrive Racing Australia lapses.
