All of this is nice stuff, but what has it got to do with Volvo joining the V8SUpercar series in 2014?

Look we know that that if the future manufacturer that enters does not have a v8 and the series has to change from a v8 series and thus a series name that does not include v8s that there will be some sort of marketing that happens. But its not a complicated. because the fans are smart enough. Apparantly though this discusion belongs over in 6th manufacturer though because mid conversation an actual 5th manufacturer (3 more than you said would happen DRT) has turned up. so i will leave the topic knowing that V8 fans are smarter than the ARDC. |

Exactly
GTR - the discussion of a 5th brand entering the V8 series is linked to a potential future re branding of the series name. If we are going to be so specific about forum topics in discussion, I look forward to this consistency across all other threads |

Now this could be a savior in 2016 , or would it go to the GT Class
http://www.themotorreport.com.au/575...in-2016-report or as MR lee said, " Mr Lee said that the Korean carmaker has no plans to go motor racing for now, preferring to leave the company honour to sister carmaker Hyundai." |

Do HSV own a REC? thought it was in Tom's name (thus Ryans?)
However are Polestar owned by Volvo, or are they a separate company? edit going by their website they are not owned by Volvo, but a collaboration with Volvo |

Doesnt matter who buys the REC, hopefully they have the funding to take it to the top teams and make the racing more exciting |

Could this be the saviour for Ford :
http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sp...-1226777908441 It would be interesting to mould the mustang onto a four door chassis |

This series has a rich history of 2-door cars competing and winning, the Mustang included (it was a pair of Mustang's that did the bulk of the work the last time someone won this series five times in six years)
A Mustang is also much more likely to stir the fans interest than a tarted up Mondeo. |

A four door Mustang does sound good. Like a four door GTR/Skyline.
