Totally agree they are the biggest pack of cheating people in the sport.........His stupid little fine for his two offences in Abu Dhabi was just ridiculous, especially when competitors all around him were getting black flagged for the same things he was doing, and the offence against Bargs, should have just been clear cut. T8 has unfortunately ruined this sport with their huge budget, arrogant owners, arrogant driver and the way they win things while cheating, it is pathetic............ Thats why it annoys me when they win the round that has $500 000 up for grabs, and they are the team that need it least.

Do we really expect anything different from T8. Who knows what they will do next when the COTF comes into play...............BMW perhaps and a rule change to suit them. I find that Jamie "Whingecup" has become a real bore and Lowndes a ral "win at all cost" knob jockey.

So true guyz, and things were really no different when they (T8) were racing Falcons. It seems as though once Vodafone came onboard, T8 simply became a pack of snobby a@#holes, and it doesn't look like anything is gonna change. It must be said though that this team has only ever been driven by money and not true competitive racing instinct. Even when they were low-budget, Betta Electrical backed team, all T8's members were traitors to some extent. Both Whincup and Lowndes started their careers with Holden. I know that loyalty is a dying theme in Aussie motor sport, but look closely enough and you will still find that there are some teams and drivers who remain true to either a lion or the mighty blue oval. My point here is this....the connection between cheating and racing for money is overwhelmingly obvious nowadays.....when will we see modifications to the rule book that takes this issue into account, huh?....please answer that one, Mr. Cochrane.
