Thread: OMG!! independent rear ends!! FFS,,,

just wondering if I saw/heard correctly that Mercedes-Benz and BMW have applied to enter V8 Supercars and that there was also a third un-named manufacturer wanted in as well. I'm sure those words came from Tony Cochrane himself (I stand corrected if I'm wrong here) and possibly come into effect in 2 years . I believe the time scale allows all manufacturers to ramp up to the new specs. I believe it will become a fully international series from that point on. Its all about $$$$$$$$ people. When this takes place maybe the proper Australian Touring Car Championship can come to the fore again.

Which one will that be?

The Ford LTD Crown Victoria has been discontinued so we'll be seeing Ford Taurus front wheel drive 3.5L V6 ecoboost engined things replacing the Falcons in the V8 Supercars series WOW I'll be watching that. Not!
