Topic97 Member 30 Member For: 12y 3m 13d Posted 23/09/12 07:12 AM Share Posted 23/09/12 07:12 AM I think this will be watched by other car company's, they will see if Nissan and Mercedes do a good job then might invest them selves. I could see Toyota coming in 2014.Yeah I was extremely surprised not to see Toyota jump on the bandwagon, especially since they are a local manufacturer and they have their finger in nearly every other Motorsport pie - a lot more being a lot lower profile than v8 supercars too!Although with merc only just signing on, perhaps they have something in the pipeline too.

But they were still Fords... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the motors will weigh the same after ballast has been added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the motors will weigh the same after ballast has been added.Spot on, every V8 supercar has a minimum weight - regardless of what lightweight bits they add. 1350 something kgs from memory.If they are under they have to add ballast to that weight, if they are over tough titties.

I stopped watching the races except Bathurst cos of boredom. I'll be watching again in 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topic97 Member 30 Member For: 12y 3m 13d Posted 27/09/12 11:14 PM Share Posted 27/09/12 11:14 PM It'll be much better though cos it will make it much closer and reward the drivers with talent, not just the ones with the best cars and biggest budget!

I think you might be right the Dags. The cream always rises to the top.Although the same was being said about the current F1 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
