ON THIS DAY: April 6

Delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

On this day in 2018 Holden announced it was suspending development on the V6 twin-turbo engine that was set to be introduced to the Supercars Championship.

Holden and Triple Eight had been working in tandem to develop the package, with the intention of phasing the V6 in via a series of wildcards.

The first public outing for the V6 was at Queensland Raceway in July of 2017 for a test day.

Take a trip down Speedcafe.com memory lane on this day, April 6.
