CAPRICORN IGNITION AUGUST 2015 5 Changing the face of top level Australian motorsport by Paul Marinelli The premier tier of Australian motorsport, now known Benz team has gained race victories over the past two as V8 Supercars, is about to undergo one of the most seasons in the current V8 Supercar format. drastic changes in its history when new technical specifications will allow all manner of vehicles and engine configurations to take part from 2017 onwards. For some it is sacrilege, for others it is the best thing that could happen. One thing is for sure, with the demise of local vehicle manufacturing in Australia, the traditional red versus blue, Holden versus Ford battlefront - that not so long ago represented the sole two manufacturers in the championship, could not continue forever. So what will change? The 2017 Supercars, or whatever they decide to name it, will no longer be the sole domain of four door sedans fitted with a 5.0 litre capacity V8 engine. Referred to now as the Gen2 Supercar, the specifications will allow current V8 Supercars to be joined by turbocharged six or four cylinder engine cars from 2017. The cars must be publicly available for sale in Australia, have a front mounted engine, be right hand drive and have a full four-seat configuration, but the car does not If every country’s major touring car based motor racing have to have four doors. The new specification race car series is meant to be a representation of the cars and must also be rear wheel drive and accurately reflect styles of cars being driven on that country’s roads, the look of the road car. All cars will continue to use then there is no doubt that Australia’s premier racing the existing chassis and control components introduced category needs to diversify to gain the appeal of new in 2013 under the Car of the Future blueprint, while and current fans alike. also being subject to engine output and aerodynamic Re s e a r c h c o m p l e t e d by V8 Supercar s Australia has clearly identified that while core support for the spor t is strong, opening the sport to include more brands and engines would have substantial appeal, particularly to younger fans. A d d i t i o n a l l y, w i t h m o r e automotive manufacturer involvement comes more investment, marketing and promotion and hopefully the ultimate goal, to have more competitive and unpredictable racing from event to event. We have already seen the likes of Nissan and Volvo strongly competing in V8 Supercars, even a non-factory Mercedes- 6 CAPRICORN IGNITION AUGUST 2015 parity rules. This is where it gets very tricky. How do you gain There is no doubt that what lies ahead will be interesting parity (equal performance) across the field when you for Australian motorsport fans. There is no doubt that have coupes, sedans, hatches, (even wagons won’t be the engineering minds at work at the helm of the sport excluded), turbo charged four cylinder or six cylinder have their work cut out for them to ensure that the engines and V8 engines incorporating vast engineering new generation supercar specifications ensure exciting enhancements compared to the current specifications, racing, while being representative of the cars that different body shapes, sizes and the like? There beholds Australian motorists are driving or want to be driving. the challenge for the sport’s administrators to try and get right. If they do, it has the potential to become the most diverse and exciting touring car championship If done correctly, the mantra of win on Sunday, sell on Monday will be extremely apt for all involved. anywhere in the world. There are arguments for and against making this major c hange, with traditional V8 Supercar fans lamenting the loss of the mainly Holden vs Ford rivalry of the past two decades. A d ve r s e l y t h e r e ar e al s o many motorsport fans, sponsors and in particular global vehicle manufacturers, who are keen to see our premier level motor racing championship expand to include a variety of different makes and models. The manufacturers also want to see their flagship models on the track, not a silhouette of their cars as happens in other categories around the world.
