Take their promises with a grain of salt.

What I find amusing is that Holden have committed to supporting Supercars til the end of 2021, yet the writing on the wall says Holden will be lucky if it makes it to the end of 2020. I hope Supercars have a backup plan....
I think we can agree that Holden’s forward commitments relied heavily on government funding and when that was withdrawn, Holden was sunk.
