Nah, because when any of them craps out, they will decide it's just too expensive to fix and buy a Nissan instead :D

1302129 2012-09-19 23:04:00 Can anyone here actually explain the Aussie Supercar racing. I have been told that they are not really Holden and Ford cars, but identical space frame cars fitted with the appropriate engine and body panels, to look like a Ford or Holden. So they have very little in common with the car bought from your local dealer. I guess the Nissans and Mercs will be the same. Richard (739)

Wash your mouth out with soap lol
Actually the best aspect of the V8 will be gone now and it will probaly kill the Aussie V8s that aspect being the Ford and Holden are near identical to make it a driver thing not a car thing.

1302131 2012-09-19 23:10:00 Will all saloon car racing all around the world is like that. You couldn't buy one off the shop floor and if you could you couldn't afford too. Each car costs over $1 million dollars. And they don't use bog standard parts either.

I don't think so.

Quote from Stone Brothers website.

With most V8 Supercar teams either already on track or about to be on track with the 2013 Car of the Future models, Cochrane said the sport was never in better shape to maintain its high growth curves domestically and internationally.

The Car of the Future program aims to cut running costs and encourage other marques to compete, in turn broadening fan and sponsor appeal. The sport intends to grow to 18 events world-wide across 40 weeks in the coming years.

“Having Erebus Motorsport combined with SBR on the grid says much for the evolution of V8 Supercars to an internationally recognised brand,” Mr Cochrane said.

“With the customer sports support of AMG, the marque joins another world-wide giant in Nissan in our Championship under the Erebus Motorsport and SBR partnership, further demonstrating that our sport is truly on the international stage.

“We are an extremely popular sport worldwide and arguably one of the most respected motorsport categories internationally. This is largely due to our professionalism, safety first approach, fantastic events, technological prowess, spectacular racing and our hugely respected teams and drivers.”
