Australia’s V8 Supercars championship will be just plain ‘Supercars’ from July on following a name change:
From next year manufacturers will be able to race four- or six-cylinder engines in the series, which has carried the ‘V8’ moniker since 1997.
The championship also announced a new title sponsor, airline Virgin Australia.
The 4 & 6 cylinder engines are also allowed to be turbo charged.
They are also able to switch to a two door coupe body shell if they wish, i.e Nissan could put in a GTR
It still has to be a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration though.
The control chassis will stay the same for all cars though.
Mustang?
Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. Totally hate it as it takes away alot of the character of the sport in itself. The sport needs V8 in its title to continue attracting new fans, especially those overseas to appeal to these people.
