V8 Infiniti

I welcome Nissan to V8 Supercars. It will bring more money, more fans and more variety and give the sport greater international appeal. That in turn should given Holden and Ford Australia greater international coverage.

My only reservation is the selection of body to go over the COTF. Manufacturers should be limited to those that make V8 powered rear wheel drive cars, to at least give a hint of authenticity to the race going cars. With that being the case Nissan’s Infiniti brand, preferably the M model, should be the way to go. It is mid to large size rear wheel drive that comes in a V8. Badging one of Nissan’s regular cars as a V8 Supercar will lack credibility. The Infinity brand is due to arrive in Australia which coincides nicely with the COTF in 2013.

I’d also like to see the addition of a fly-wheel based KERS some time in the future. Modern fly-wheel technology is really the way forward for petrol engines; in terms of cost, weight, additional power and fuel economy.
