\u201cMotorsport has played a significant role in Holden\u2019s heritage and we\u2019re proud to be carrying on that tradition with the new Red Bull Holden Racing Team, while reshaping our brand and presence in the market and in motorsport. We\u2019re taking our company forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d also like to thank and pay homage to Walkinshaw Racing with whom we have shared a proud history over many years,\u201d said Mr Bernhard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll also continue to help Walkinshaw wherever we can. We support every Holden team in pit lane through various avenues such as marketing support, technical support, sponsorship acquisition, even down to helping design certain race liveries. We\u2019ll continue that with Walkinshaw and I wish them all the best. Our relationship with Walkinshaw remains strong and we are working closely on future road vehicle initiatives as part of our ongoing partnership with HSV.<\/p>\n
\u201cFans around the country will see the new Red Bull Holden Racing Team on the grid from next year but I\u2019m especially excited about our next-generation Commodore hitting the racetrack in 2018. Australia can rest assured that our next-gen Commodore will live up to the iconic nameplate, on and off the track.<\/p>\n
\u201cTriple Eight is the most successful team of the modern era, they are simply the best at what they do. We\u2019re very proud to continue our partnership with them,\u201d said Mr Bernhard.![\"Red+Bull+Racing+Australia+V8+Supercar+Launch+nWL0v7aaGxhl\"](\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RedBullRacingAustraliaV8SupercarLaunchnWL0v7aaGxhl.jpg\")
