So... what of the noise out the back.. about a certain French/Japanese brand bringing Supercar a different kind of deal to go racing.. live & on track..
There is/was a suggestion that this importer, in conjunction perhaps with a recently former Supercar team, may have floated an idea around lining up a couple of dozen of their sports hatches into a one-make championship.
Idea apparently would be similar to a one make championship from the mid 1980s, with proper race cars, prepped by the teams to give them something to do in the rest break, and run with control suspension settings in a series of races across a two, or even a one day event, operating with officials but without a crowd, or hangers on.
Prize money for the drivers and teams, and picking car numbers out of a hat at the start of the weekend to ‘fair it up’...
The challenge of factory supported drivers may be a moot point with Holden soon to be out, and Ford soon to exit the Focus platform here.
It would be more than good to see drivers and teams using strategy and race craft and strengths and weaknesses of their cars as they prepare them out on a real track rather than simulated entertainment... Might get Fox enthused around having proper content on the teev too, with the thrills and spills real and live...
Could be interesting.. the Yoplait Follies
