Whincup says it'll be announced this month:

https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/timeline-set-on-whincup-replacement-announcement/

I suspected that it would be announced after Bathurst 1000 and driver's performance evaluated.

Whincup, on the Commission, will be aware that a Bathutrst 1000 is unlikely in 2021, so why wait?

Bathurst will go ahead regardless, only thing that may change is the date, no fans and limited staff.

My guess is that everyone will have to be fully vaccinated also.

Read in the Qld. Sunday Mail (cant provide a digital reference):

Renee Gracie, who rumour has it makes more money without her driving suit than in it, has apparently announced plans to buy a Supercar to run in Bathurst 2022 where she expects a top 10 finish.

An unnamed team owner has said that it will cost $500,000 for a car and another $500,000 to run it. No mention of REC or Wildcard.

Of course, 2022 is set to use the el-cheapo Gen 3 cars.

P.S. Did a bit of searching.

She'd want to hurry before only fans ban sexual expletive content and she has to turn to hard core porn to keep the cash cumming

I saw some of her movies. Her acting ability was on a par with her driving ability, that is to say, fairly ordinary.
If you don't like my comment, ignore it. If you don't know how to ignore it, message me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate how.

Another Paul Morris protege gets a Super1 ride.

Paul gets a lot of rubbish piled on him by keyboard warriors but seems to be well respected for driver advancement and training by top teams, 888, DJR, Erebus and Tickford for starters.

And this was always going to be the fallout of Whincup retiring:
https://www.speedcafe.com/2021/08/31/future-wildcard-could-keep-lowndes-at-triple-eight/

I'd 100% keep Tander in the team over Lowndes, but I thought Lowndes and his history at 888 would see Tander get the flick.
Whincup suggests that it's Lowndes on the outer! If there's anyone able to market themselves into a wildcard it's Lowndes.

888 playing it smart. If they can keep Tander and Lowndes, they have undoubtedly the 3 best (assuming McLaughlin doesn't return) co-drivers for 2022. Meaning they don't lose one to a rival.

Would love to see either GT or Lowndes reunite with Walkinshaw and partner Chaz - can only dream.
