If you are taking a production car and modifying it and racing, then probably nothing they can do, but if you build a bespoke clone of a road car for racing, then I'd suggest it is safer to get permission. |

MARC gets around IP laws by taking Focus panels and bolting them to their own chassis, thus not "replicating" a Focus.

And how is this any different from a V8 Supercar? All in sundry know it's a space frame chassis with a few panels covering it to keep the rain out.

Surely this is the confirmation the series needs that it's past it's used by date?

The problem the series has is that it appears the fans want to retain the status quo while new manufacturers seem to have no interest in the series as it currently stands. Someone has to adapt.

Has there been an alternative model identified that manufacturers would be interested in? I think that most have no interest because it doesn't sell cars any more, at least not to people who wouldn't buy the cars anyway, plus it isn't green. I would like to be wrong about this.

But if the manufacturers disappear without new ones entering then we end up with the possibility of generic cars with a generic shape and only team branding. Will the fans still stick around for that if they are already so set on walking away if the series adopted regulations which would be more attractive to manufacturers? The problem now is Ford are gone and I can't imagine current Ford teams will stick with those shapes and will for sure be seeking opportunities with other manufacturers so whether they like it or not, the legion of Ford fans are going to get a rude shock in the near future. The ship has already sailed.

F1 on the other hand, has probably gone down the path of being more appealing for manufacturers in recent years and I'm not convinced that it's been the right path. I'd suggest that sports cars and now TCR have probably gone down this route as well. In a market the size of Oz, I suspect that the NASCAR approach generally (not the tech rules so much) makes sense but there are some big decisions to be made. |
