The future of V8 "Supercars"perhaps

[mnrolvr]

Is this the future of V8 Supercars post Falcon/Commodore???

Probably as good as the current series in relation to relevance to the old win on Sunday, buy on Monday, we could all drive Mazda 3's or Focus

Hmmm...Interesting. I had a little deeper look at these:
- both space frame chassis built/developed by Pace Innovations in Qld.
- both using 5 litre V8s

I would guess the MARC cars would also be subject to lots of "control" parts...just like the V8 supercars but couldn't find much info.

The difference seems to me that the MARC cars (or at least the skins that they are wearing...) are of some interest in other countries - unlike Commodore and Falcon.

But then again after 2017...C/F won't even exist... What the "unique selling proposition" of the V8 supercars after that?
