Is that so?........thanks for that Racenut, I wasn't aware. Like you said the restrictor would play an important role.

Don't expect a Hyundai V8 Supercar anytime soon... The Genesis sedan is not even expected to come to Australia - in this guise or the next!

Hyundai's Korean sister would be more likely... But then, the engines currently on sale in the Optima don't exactl scream "sporty".

I'm pretty sure Rhys Millen's Hyundai Pikes Peak and Drift mobiles are powered by Nissan powerplants.

Link to the change of rules allowing all types of motors please.

As for the rest of it, that is all motors of different breeds and types accelerating at the same rate, I don't think so. If a motor gets peak torque at a 1000 rpm earlier than another motor there is a difference is there not.

What they need is run what ya brung on a given amount of fuel, then we will see who is clever and who is not. Then you will encourage manufacturers to get involved because they can market what they achieve. When was the last time you saw an advert eulogising the performance of a Ford or Holden in the daily press and linking it to a sales campaign. Simply put there is no linkage between the race results and the road cars as there once was.

Same reason they put Holden rocker covers on a Chev, or a Ford diff in a Holden, wishbones in a Holden or Holinger gearbox’s in everything?

It was Nissan powered for one event.

After that it was all Hyundai.

Anything is possible, but it won't have a Hyundai V8 in it

It is a Hyundai V8 but not a V8 Supercar (well it will race with supercars...). Apparently Hyundai is not interested in taxi racing

My point was that there will never be a Hyundai V8 in a SuperTourer. That class has a spec engine and it's GM sourced.

Hyundai would be crazy to join V8 supercars........the category only exists for the benefit of holden and they would merely be providing holden with someone else to beat, just as Ford are doing.

I doubt there will be a 3rd make in Supertourers.
From what I understand anyone can make a shell for any make.
But you have to pay ST to run it and then turn over the rights to it to them.
In other words you spend all the $$ developing it, then turn over the rights to sell it to ST. A team already looked at Toyota but canned it when they found that out.
