This discussion is relating around a post saying we don’t need manufacturers. If you want to operate a big-business sport with purpose-built race cars not related to production models, but want to call them “Ford Mustangs” , then you need them to be involved, at the very least in an IP approval level, full stop.

True, but if SC adopt the MARCII chassis they will be able to fit coupe panels whereas the SC chassis is too tall. Also it may be easier to adapt drivetrain mounts (engine and transaxle) than re-positioning the rollover hoops for SC chassis.
Personally, I would also like to see them retain the MARCII suspension to reduce cost.
