News About v8 supercar 2005 teams
Meanwhile, Holden Racing Team has threatened to switch to production car racing unless it is satisfied with the planned ‘Car of the Future’ overhaul.
Toyota Australia once previously considered the merits of entering the Championship in the lead up to the 2005 season, only to withdraw its interest over fears the brand wouldn’t be able to make the most of the marketing potential V8 Supercars provides.
The Japanese manufacturer was picked out as a potential competitor in the V8 scene as AVESCO continues to pursue its ‘Car of the Future’ project.
Headed by Mark Skaife, the ‘Car of the Future’ committee has been tasked with introducing new manufacturers and recognising ways to halt the rapidly increasing cost of V8 racing.
A V8 Supercar currently costs around $500,000 AUS, but Skaife and AVESCO hope to slash this price to $250,000 AUS to follow the model of the relatively cost-efficient NASCAR series.
Toyota Australia has scuttled rumours of its future participation in V8 Supercars, expressing the view the company has little to gain by competing in the series.
However, Toyota Australia Senior Executive Director David Buttner is being all sensible and fails to see the benefit of the company entering the V8 series.
“My personal opinion is that if we were to enter into some form of partnership or marketing which was to promote a product other than that which we can show our customers in the showroom as a standard offering from one of our manufacturing facilities from here or overseas, then I would have to seriously question the relevance of that and the viability of such an investment,” Butler told the official V8 Supercars website.
Holden apparently has concerns about the prospect of AVESCO instituting a series featuring identically engineered machines with only superficial differences.
The introduction of Toyota has been central to the strategy as the company has an Australian-based production line, producing the front-wheel-drive Camry and V6 Aurion (pictured).
