But Ford Australia do not want to race in Supercars, as far as they are concerned it gives a bogan image that they want to distance themselves from.

Holden and Nissan support are not guaranteed either, the latter seems to be based on personal relationships than hard results and worthwhile ROI.

Whereas Audi and Mercedes go out of their way to associate themselves with the techy, sophisticated image of TCR, GT3 and Formula 1.
