Aussie V8 Supercar’s “Car of the Future” Plans Released

Details of the much-anticipated Car of the Future blueprint was released to the public Monday, specifying new control parts, the future direction of the sport and the pathway for more manufacturers to join the V8 Supercars Championship Series in the coming years.

The 18 month project, headed by five-times Bathurst 1000 winner Mark Skaife, was presented to the country’s media, car manufacturers, business leaders, Government representatives, motorsport heavyweights and industry insiders at Crown Casino, Melbourne.

In terms of car maker representation, Holden, Ford, Nissan and Chrysler were present at the announcement.

A graphic was used (See below) of a Nissan Maxima and Hyundai Grandeur as examples of future manufacturer representation in the sport.

The key points revealed today were based around the V8 Supercars’ DNA, with a heavy emphasis on evolution rather than mechanical revolution. Cost saving, increased safety, a wider scope for the inclusion of different engine configurations and continued parity between current and potential new manufacturers were just some of the key points highlighted in the one-hour presentation.

A local safety delegation, consisting of Adam Perry (V8 Supercars Director of Racing), Frank Adamson (V8 Technical Manager), Richard Hollway ( Garry Rogers Motorsport ) and Jim Stone ( Stone Brothers Racing ) are working closely with world motor sport’s governing body FIA in its crash safety institute.

Skaife’s Car of the Future plan uses all of the basic Project Blueprint parity system that was designed to maintain equality amongst the current Ford and Holden-based Series. This format will be retained, enabling numerous other manufacturers to consider using the V8 Supercar Championship Series as a racing and marketing platform.

“This is evolution, not revolution,”
