If they let the Germans in, forget about Holden or Ford winning again. They just don't have the technology for WW3.

indeed, shame when ultimately commercial drivers force the essence out (yes, I am aware of the actual costs already!!)

Rules changed to suit Germans, game over ford and holden. Its like when Ducati changed all the WSB rules to suit them

Looks like I had better get to Aus (Bathurst or Philip island) before this happens.........

ahh i think it will be fair game bmw and nissan used to be there...it would be un australian to say no and even better for competition but i do think it should remain ford vs holden somewhere along the lines

With Ford and Holden pulling much of their sponsorship, it needs an in jection of cash from somewhere, and keeping the upper echelon of the racing formula confined to locally produced cars is as farcical as US Baseball having a 'World' Series. I agree that there's a place for lower budget racing, but that's why you have club championships.

If you had your way, the racing would still be like in Ben Hur.

Ah that is gonna suck if they let them in... sniffle sniffle..
