Mercedes Race Car

How does a COTF (v8 supercar)
get away with using the mercedes logo ?
when the only mercedes component in the car is the engine ??
can anybody enlighten us about the legalities of this ??

Trevor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
and you think that the Commodores, Falcons and Nissan's are different, they are ALL the same my friend, the taillights, headlights, door handles (maybe) and the badges are about the only items from the manufacturer on all 4 car models

And as for the legalities of it, there hasn't been a problem with the sports sedans all these years, so why should this be any different ?

They have already said, last year, that they are ok with the badge/shape and name being used, but they wont fund it.

Useless thread is still useless, because it has already been discussed in many other threads!

I believe you have been given the sensible answer Puma. Why do you have an issue.

There is more Mercedes in an Erebus, than there is Holden in a commodore
