Yes you can. It’s the "Brand" name and a successful one at that.

The sooner the NASCAR theory of space frame silhouettes is replicated here with Supercar, the better the chance of long term survival and growth. Building chassis for 20k instead of 200k with greater controls and less technology will not only improve the racing but reduce the operating costs.

Get rid of data collection, dumb the cars down but keep the proven crowd drawer of V8 race cars. Toyota doesn’t seem to mind that a NASCAR has nothing in common with its stock for sale... Its all about perception, and winning for them.

Personally I could not care less if Hyundai and Volvo ran in Australia’s premier category, just so long as they ran a growling 5litre V8 and were winged and spoiler fitted like a proper looking race car and not some tame, street touring, poo box...
