Lowndes Force Closes In On Member '888'
The groundswell of support for Craig Lowndes as he makes a late charge for the 2005 V8 Supercar Championship title has been reflected with the success of Lowndes Force, the star driver's first-ever Official Fan Club.
Lowndes Force recently reached the 800-member mark and is now closing in on its 888th member; the same number Lowndes has raced with all year with brilliant success.
Launched on 1 June 2005, Lowndes Force continues to go from strength-to-strength, much like Lowndes' season, who, with four victories, has the most round wins of any driver this year.
"To have so many members in Lowndes Force already is amazing.it is a great feeling knowing there are so many people are out there cheering us on," Craig Lowndes said.
The number 888 looks set to be remembered as a significant one in Lowndes' amazing racing career.
A clear link to Triple Eight Race Engineering, the team that prepares his Ford racecar, the 888 moniker is fast becoming recognised as Lowndes' number as motorsport fans automatically associate it with the three-time V8 Supercar champion.
To celebrate, the lucky 888th member will receive a special, one-off Lowndes Force membership pack with the official cap, poster and a unique #888 membership certificate all personally signed by Lowndes.
Plus, Triple Eight Race Engineering has also donated a uniquely engraved Triple Eight pen, in acknowledgement of their link to this significant milestone for their popular driver.
With fan club numbers rising fast and closing on this impressive landmark, Lowndes' fans will need to be quick to become part of Lowndes Force history.
All Lowndes Force members receive a value-packed official membership kit filled with exclusive merchandise available only to members, including a Lowndes Force key-ring, welcome letter, poster, cap and official certificate of membership.
As well as the membership kit, all members are entitled to a special merchandise offer to receive a free team cap with any purchase of a team pit crew shirt from V8 Supercar team, Team Betta Electrical.
The three-time V8 Supercar Champion also maintains an online diary, provides exclusive access to competitions and never before seen photos, as well as details of upcoming appearances where the public can meet Lowndes away from the track.
