I think #97 might have just pulled off a strategy coup here, but if an 888 car has to win I'd love for it to be them.

So next year's Bathurst 1000 will be with turbocharged V6's instead of the V8's right?

Last year of the fun cars.
I think you have the choice of V8s or Turbo 6s, but Holden and Ford will be bringing Turbo 6s so I'd assume most of the field will be.

IIRC the plan was for 888 to run one turbo V6 car so I think there might be a few transition years.



e) super glad for Scott Pye to get P2, HSV had an awful year and they deserved a break. just wish BJR could have gotten a podium, they deserved one after the race they ran with Percat

I didn't know Ford was also moving away from the V8. It would be strange since the Mustang V8 is selling pretty well.

Good to see no Triple 8 cars up there.

No Prodrive cars either, wonder what the last time in any race was without a Prodrive or 888 car on the podium.

It's hard to put but, basically, Ford are doing what Merc did when Erebus entered; they aren't providing any backing to the supercars outfits but they aren't saying "please don't" either. There is no indication there will be a Gen2 Ford car, with the Mustang being the only choice.

(I was aware Ford pulled the plug on Supercars - they did it awhile ago - I wasn't sure if they had decided to try again in Gen2).

Well this certainly seems to be ratcheting up quickly. Jenson Button in talks for drive the Penske Acura at the endurance rounds... so thats either a combo of Montoya/Cameron/Button or Castroneves/Taylor/Button. Lordy.

They've got an open full time seat. They are also probably going to be starting a GTD Lambo team. 2nd proto is apparently unlikely.
