Without manufacture support, what is Prodrive to do?
The FGX has only been on the track for 3 years!

The series has already confirmed that the FGX Falcon (out of production), Altima (no longer on sale in Australia), Volvo S60 and Mercedes E63 (now an outdated shape) are all permitted until 2020.

Honda Accord with twin-turbo V6 NSX power?
The Accord's cousin the Acura TLX made a tasty looking racer: https://www.autoblog.com/2015/06/26/...lx-gt-racecar/

The homologation, and the manufacturer's approval to use it are seperate things.

No I meant prodrive, with Frosty and Chaz appearing for BMW in the 12 hour last year and Chaz is going around again, but like many makes, would BMW want to race Opel's?
Honda race cars do look good though must admit.

I thought BMW made it pretty clear they were not interested?
And that was coming from the mothership in Germany.

Walkinshaw/Andretti searching for new Supercars manufacturer
Kia cold on pursuing future Supercars program - Speedcafe

“We have considered staying, going, changing teams, changing cars, you name it, we have put it on the table,’’ Emery said on Thursday.

could we see GM( https://www.citroenracing.com/) not Holden look how close the Triple Eight: Project Sandman Tribute Edition look like Citroën

General Motors Company
One of the world’s most well-known companies, General Motors owns a lion’s share of car brands. Their impressive portfolio of accumulations includes Buick, Opel, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Holden, Holden Special Vehicles, Corvette, Peugeot, and Citroën. Who said Americans didn’t make fine cars?

My understanding (I stand to be corrected) was that Peugeot Citroen (PSA) had purchased all of GMs Euro brands ie Vauxhall, Opel, in March 2017 meaning in essence that GM had withdrawn from the European Market completely.
