With the current era of V8 Supercar racing in Australia drawing nearer to an end, the sport’s organising body has released a draft plan of what fans can expect in the future.

Under the ‘Gen2’ Supercars rules (the ‘V8’ part to be dropped), set to commence in 2017, the sport has promised more of the same to ensure fans don’t feel alienated.

That means cars that are ‘fast, loud and competitive’, according to V8SC CEO, James Warburton, who declared that the shift in rules won’t result in wholesale changes.

Instead, it’s hoped the current competitors - Holden, Nissan, Volvo and the Erebus Mercedes-Benz team  - will continue once 2017 rolls around, and Ford might be wooed back, away from its intended departure at the end of this season.

Holden and Ford will have ceased local manufacturing of their Commodore and Falcon models respectively once 2017 has been and gone, and these models currently represent the two carmakers in V8SC racing.
