Due to his recent poor health, Team Australia co-owner Craig Gore has announced that he will be still involved in the Champ CarWorld Series this season, despite announcing that he is to wind down his V8 Supercar operation at home.

The absence of the team at the last Sebring tests last week fuelled all kind of rumors.

There has been considerable speculation as to the health of Team Australia owing to Gore's health and business concerns, with the worst rumours suggesting that he would withdraw completely from Champ Cars - a move seen as another nail in the category's coffin.

Today's announcement suggests that Walker will be able to run one car in the now familiar yellow-and-green livery of Team Australia for will Power.

As for the second entry though, Walker will have to search for alternative backers if he wants a two-car presence on the grid.
