That sounds suspiciously like the German V8Star series. Or is it something different ?

It's a similar concept to V8Star.
As far as I know they're using a "standard" V8 race engine built by Rouse Engineering (550bhp), with a spaceframe chassis clad in a replica body from one of the approved manufacturers.
I thought I'd heard it mentioned that the engine was based on the Zytek sportscar engine (a la Panoz LMP07) but I may be mistaken.
Should be good if it gets the support.

I'd rather they put the WOW factor into their roadcars tbh instead of building fwd shitboxes all the time.

I was also under the impression that vauxhall were using the Commodore from Aussie V8 Supercars to compete. Wonder where I read that?

The series is great here in australia and gave me the chance to see GT, GT Production and F300 equivalent over here in Febuary at the Clipsal 500.
