Then of course around COTF time there were discussions with a raft of manufacturers, Nissan & Volvo jumped in others chose not to. Clearly those that chose not to would have their own reasons for doing so but the various head honchos at V8 Supercars over the years have talked about getting other manufacturers involved and gone down the path with those manufacturers.
The fact that it hasn't borne fruit (other than Nissan & Volvo with maybe half a jump for Benz) is another thing entirely......
