^^ Because it wasn't there precious Falcodore, that they thought would be around until the end of mankind while everything else fell by the wayside. So now they reap what they've sown over the years - at odds with the rest of the world and becoming more and more irrelevant

And yet they have outlasted other championships by 4 or 5 times, including all those we look at through rose glasses.

Yeah, I'm not sure they'd change too much from the past 20 years. If BMW entered, and hosed the opposition during the series infancy, I doubt we'd be where we are right now.

Chances are it could be, yeah. I doubt motorsport would have a category that was mentioned in mainstream sports like supercars is and has been. My opinion only.

Well there’s a lot riding against it. For a start it’s not a no 1 series and there are enough series as there are

I think you'll find mainstream reporting of the top level of touring car racing has declined over the years.

Yikes, that is a lot of TBAs! Your suggestion that the organiser's are propping up the grid seems plausible.
One hopes smart teams recruit the series of Improved Production FWD ace Jordan Cox and World Time Attack FWD ace Rob Nguyen. Last edited by V8 Fireworks; 16 Apr 2019 at 03:49. |

That image above doesn’t tell the whole story. The accompanying text said that this is our entry list and another driver announced tomorrow morning (or similar)
Keeping the announcements coming every couple of days is a good way to build interest don’t you think? |

So the big announcement seems to be that Kelly Racing has Holden's blessing to rebadge the Opels.

And even then it’s hardly hate. Extremism may begat hate... not in a motor racing category. Having someone wanting to rebut any post where I give an opinion just like anyone else... well that’s something else again. I respect a poster’s rights under the safe space created here to share as they choose to within the confines of the rules of posting, and regardless of whether I consider, as me the poster, and me the moderator that said contributions add zero to the actual trend of the thread, it doesn’t even constitute hate. |

Will this have any implications on the Supercars arm of the team? A possibility of moving back into Commodores since Nissan dropped them support wise?
