RBR vow to give Commodore sendoff

Supercars heavyweights Red Bull Racing (RBR) have vowed to give the Commodore a fitting farewell after Holden made the shock decision to pull the model from its showrooms.

Australian touring cars are reeling from Holden's bold call to drop the iconic nameplate that first emerged in 1978, saying it will focus exclusively on SUV and light commercial vehicles in the future.

Commodores will continue to be sold until Holden's existing stocks are depleted.

But Supercars boss Sean Seamer confirmed the Commodore would still race in the category through to the end of 2021, honouring a deal that was announced in July.
