Billy_Cart Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Great videos Roger really enjoyed them plus I learnt heaps, now I'll just have to watch them again to remember all that stuff. I wonder if it all applies on a smaller scale for our 1:32 versions, except of course the rear wing in my case as they tend to all disappear eventually.

Roger Miller Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Quite a bit about of the COTF (Car Of The Future) up on the V8 Supercars website today and plenty of info on what its all about. (Sorry if I missed this elsewhere) Matt http://www.v8supercars.com.au/championship/newsarticle/so-what-is-car-of-the-future-all-about/tabid/70/newsid/11973/default.aspx The key factors are........ Racing every 2 weeks. At least 4 cars per team [nascar have over 10 per team] Halved car build costs. Ford and Holden have a small % of car sales in OZ now. Extremely similar cars built the same. [Most cars now are built by about 2 builders] Why do they need [more] manufacturers ? As long as the grid is full, I don't get it. Incidentally, they have not addressed to engine [costs] as yet. Currently a 2 car team [would have at least] have 7 engines. 2 in cars 2 in trucks 2 in rebuild and 1 on dyno and many more parts. A huge chunk of dough.
