They were AU$150k were they not? So similar in price to a top flight Production Racing car such as the BMW M4, but for that you get a standardised package with good resale value instead of a one-off.
Besides that is still one third the price of a BTCC or WTCC car.
At the moment there is no ladder to go from Australia to WTCC or TCR International categories, which is a pity for aspiring "touring car" (as in proper front wheel drive European touring cars) racers.
There is good potential for manufacturer support (Peugeot, Honda, VW, Audi, KIA, Hyundai, Alfa Romeo, Holden/Opel) especially "win on sunday, sell on Monday" given that they are production based and are true road relevant touring cars.
