I know they are this year's rules - hence why I put
current in bold and underlined. The implication is that you
can run V8s of different capacity
up to 5000cc, even this year.
Another question is why don't the 2017 Technical rules allow for the other engine configurations and 2 door cars - all along they were supposed to have been eligible from 2017, but no new manufacturers came along and the existing ones didn't change. The rules
should have still allowed for them.
From Supercars' own website, dated Aug 27 2016 -
"Gen2 allows engines other than V8s and body shapes other than sedans in the category from 2017. At this stage it appears there will be no new vehicles or engines variations present on next year’s Virgin Australia Supercars Championship grid, though Triple Eight has confirmed it will build and race a Gen2 Commodore from 2018."
