There are few cars being sold in australia in significant numbers that derive any passion.

The surveys all say V8's but manufacturers are moving away from them. Car being sold in Australia in significant numbers are mostly not suitable for racing as we have known it for the past 50ish years
The alternative is to race cars with relevance, which has/had been the backbone of touring car racing for decades (save the 78-79 period, as alluded by chavez)

Cars being sold in significant numbers are more than suitable for racing.

Maybe, as per the changes in 1973 and 1985, it is time for the style of car we race now to be sent off to Sports Sedans?

Should the "Australian Touring Car Championship" title, which is still awarded to the VASC winner, be continued to be awarded if the series regs continue down a path with ever increasing "no relevance" to the road going models?
