No a Marc II is still a generic spaceframe car, like a COTF Supercar.
The notion of a generic spaceframe strongly deters many manufacturers, who would prefer to have a racecar with the "DNA" of the roadcar and then have it balance-of-performanced as required.
"IS there a niche though? Therotically yes, But in practise who is crying out for that category. DTM (and their maufcaturers) for instance have just moved away from it.
USA has NASCAR, but who else outside Australia is looking for that category?"
The key would be to drop Ford and Holden, and focus on prestige marques who (unlike Ford or Holden) actually sell performance sedans. Especially those who do not current produce a GT3 racer such as Alfa Romeo.
