Nissan to join V8 Supercars

Fair Dinkum!

Had to happen eventually !

Now most teams will join them and there will be no Holdens & fords left

Already pinched Kelly Racing for their factory team, next will be 888 Racing, H.R.T etc !

With all the money nismo racing have, they will proberly pinch nearly all the good teams and how exiting will the format be then

This is what most people wanted, so this could signal the end of that great Holden V Ford rivarly that has been built up and made this series to what it is

Could it be that the admin of V8 Supercars feel that its a possibility that the manufacture of the Falcon / Commodore may fall over within the next decade and are sureing up their competition by bringing other makes in to get people used to it?

I do wonder what actual model Nissan they will be running?

Dosen't matter what model does it !

Its only a shell

Use a Nissan Micra !

After what 'Godzilla' did at Bathurst a few years back, you'd expect Nissan are 'in it, to win it' here in Adelaide.
According to an interview on ABC 891 this afternoon, it appears we may also see Chrysler making an interesting
comeback to V8 racing in Oz.

Personally I'd like to see most car racing, but especially Bathurst, return to an open format with ALL manufacturers
racing stock standard vehicles straight off the showroom floor. (Safety additions like roll cages to be allowed of course.)

To my mind, 'stock standard' is far more exciting, because that's the only way the general public can really gauge just
how good the products truly are.

This video makes me nearly wet my pants every time I give it a run- a time when Ford and Holden won the Bathurst over all comers, American and German Cars included.

I don't know if you saw this 'Ben'.

Looks attractive, but fairly conservative and sedate in 'street clothes'.
It'll be interesting to see the 'full race' version.

God that is ugly !

Where is the big rear spoiler going to go

On the roof maybee, like a sprint car, there is no boot to put in on

I was trying to be polite 'CC', but I kinda agree.

I'm sure they will find somewhere to put the spoiler on, but not much room to play with.

I am open for any changes that will enhance V8 racing but not at the expense of ruining the sport and I hope there is no negative affect on this decision.
