And if not, surely this is the wake up call Supercars needs to run the sport without any manufacturer involvement.
Go one step further and dump the whole shebang as it is now and change it to GT3 cars ala Bathurst 12 hour. They keep blowing their own trumpet about how "world class" V8 Supercars is, but lets be honest it's not because no one else runs them so you have no competitors from other countries to compare against. I think it would be much better viewing, and mix up the order as different cars suit different tracks. Just have some rule that there can only be a maximum number of any one model of car on the grid, to stop it turning into one make racing after a few years.
