Interesting. I'm sure the aussies won't be pleased.

[Massimo]

I will be.

To bad ill be at a wedding so I won't beable to go to the clipsal.

Hopefully it is a great success and we see manufactorer suppor from bmw and mercs, maybe others.

Its always nice to see new competition step in. I don't follow the racing series down under but with the addition of more manufacturers I can see it ending up on my downloads.

[HarryPotter]

Im not really sure how they are going to "fit in" with the series. It's like BMW getting into nascar.

[Massimo]

meh it will be just like the rest, tube frame chassie, holnger gearbox, ford rear end, with merc panels and engine.

[TobyB]

yeah, it's a rules- change, not a 'new manufacturer'.

So there will be toyotas, etc, too...

And the racing will still be pretty fantastic, I suspect.

pritty much should be a good show. I don't really know what to expect.

I'm looking forward to it!
Will be great to see some euro/jap supercars getting smashed around on the track with the fat Aussie saloons

Mercedes/Nissan joining up should bring an interesting mix to the game. Much more enjoyable to watch then Nascar.
