Jamie Whincup’s two-time championship winning V8 Supercar for sale

The VF Commodore V8 Supercar that took Jamie Whincup to his 2013 and 2014 Supercars championship victories is up for sale.

Most recently driven by teenaged racer Jake Kostecki in the Super2 development series at Sandown this year, the car currently wears a different livery to its former Red Bull gear.

But the listing, found on V8Sleuth, says it could be put back to its former #1 livery.

And that’s how it will most likely end up, as this car has not only won two consecutive Supercars championships, but is also the third-most winning V8 Supercar in history.

Its win count of 22 races is topped only by Whincup’s VEII Commodore in which he took out 28 races, and the Stone Brothers Falcon driven by Marcos Ambrose to 25 wins.

It’s also got two Sandown 500 wins under its belt and a Bathurst pole position on its record.

The car was also raced during the first half of the 2015 Supercars season before it became the spare car for Red Bull racing, before being raced by Craig Lowndes at the end of that same season.

Opinion: Supercars should remain ‘the V8s’

It has since been a Dunlop Super2 car.

The listing has its price set as ‘POA’, but Steven Kostecki told MOTOR he wouldn’t consider any offers below $500K.

“It’s a pretty special car, and I’d probably keep it racing [with Jake at the wheel], but I’m only selling it to buy an updated car,” Kostecki says.

The car that helped Whincup break the record for most Supercars championship wins is definitely going to prove valuable, if not only in sentimentality.
