Neither.
Teams can still produce their own chassis, and pin the new '18-spec Commodore Triple Eight-developed bodywork to it. |

They're sticking with the V8 in 2018, from what's been reported.
Too much money down the toilet, to develop anything else. |

I worry about 'parity' in post race interviews if Nissan continue with the V8 and others move to turbocharged powerplants.

He doesn't own the IP to the chassis design. Supercars does.

The bare kit of tubes can come from Pace pre-cut... all the rest is likely to be, for Holden teams, an 888-designed & homologated part..
It is more than likely that prospective Holden teams in the Next Gen world will be encouraged to buy turn key cars from 888.. Having said that, they had better have an order placed soon for next year.. deposits paid & all that ![]() |

People bought 888 FG and 888 COTF because they are the best mouse traps with the best support. If it was your money would you buy a car from GRM, WP or PRA? |

The brains behind #33 were of a much higher calibre than those running #34.

Well look at Alex in the ENDUROs. His pace is with the front runners, in my opinion Alex is a highly underrated driver. Robert also showed good pace but he left too early I think. He'd be a good ENDURO runner too

Monsoir Premat was always going to be quick in the #33, alongside Mr McLaughlan, just as Mr Wall was.

#33 was a better-fettled car.

I read an article on the New Commodore , where German(Opel) and GM(USA) have been working on building the new Commy to race in Aus from 2018, with assistant's from T888. Even Roland commented on this.
Now just to recollect, isn't this outside the realm of supercars. IIRC Penske where refused permission to take the FGX to the states to fully test it, yet we have GM, Opel and T888 , utilizing all the resources of GM to build a car , yet any Ford team is restricted |

I doubt that's the case at all.
Triple Eight won the rights to develop the aero, in conjunction with Holden (to ensure a Commodore-like appearance). Apart from the engine (the proposed V6TT), who's responsibility that one is, I'm not sure, there's nothing else to do. Besides engine and bodywork, the car is the same as what we have now. |

GM is developing the engine in the US, I believe.
Whether that turns out any better than the various attempts (other than Volvo) to build a Supercar donk outside of Australia, we'll have to see! |

Begs the question as to how much of Nismo Japan's input is being utilised in the Altimas?
