On Inside Supercars last night, the panel spoke to Lowndes about the Frenchman, who is known for his ‘Frenglish’ as well as being the team’s technical mastermind. Those three cars all sit in the top six in the Championship points, with Jamie Whincup leading, Lowndes fourth and van Gisbergen sixth, in what should be a heated inter-team battle this year. Lacroix doubles as Triple Eight’s technical director, and runs the TeamVortex #888 after the team’s expansion to three cars this season. Lowndes works with his third engineer in three years in 2016, ending a long relationship with Jeromy Moore at the end of 2014, and with last year’s engineer Grant McPherson remaining in the Red Bull camp to run Shane van Gisbergen. Craig Lowndes admits his right-hand man Ludo Lacroix is a bit rusty as a race engineer, but believes he is focused and dedicated to making the TeamVortex car challenge up the front.
