Jaguar & Peugeot keen on SCV8
Two manufacturers want to be involved in the new super-saloon racing
 |
The new SCV8 Supercar Championship announced last week is gaining momentum thanks to a positive response from manufacturers. Jaguar and Peugeot have already offered support for the series.
550bhp, V8 powered X Types and 406s could therefore be amongst the first cars to be entered for next year's races. The simplicity of the regulations should mean that manufacturers can get cars on track shortly after their launch, making the series a powerful marketing tool.
Peugeot UK Head of Motorsport, Mick Linford commented, “The SCV8 Supercar Championship brings a fresh approach to saloon car racing and is certainly a series that opens up new opportunities to manufacturers. The unique design approach also means that new models can quickly be introduced into the Championship which could add a special dimension to any manufacturers launch programmes, with the car being seen on track at the same time that it is introduced on the road.”
The new SCV8 Supercar Championship is well advanced in its development with the championship programming pending MSA approval in the near future.
