Huge commitment, which no doubt will require diversifying into other categories outside of VASC and DVS to make it a sustainable investment.

Massive positive commitment to the sport !
Amongst the doom and gloom of the V8 circus this year this is a great story |

So only supercars can be built in this new super facility? That's quite specific....

They'll be running 7 cars at Bathurst, out of an already-crammed workshop.
So I guess they could do with some extra room. Wasn't there chatter previously about a Targa prorgam, and possibly some sort of involvement in AusGT? Either way, they're not doing this just for their VASC/DVS activities. You're a fool if you think they are. |

There will soon be no carmakers here to do design work for, so the possibilities are perhaps limited in designing & developing other projects, in production cars or in racing cars..

Apparently they have done a nice job on a Mustang for a promo with Supercheap.
