Brilliant race.

Lowndes in third from nowhere.

I didn't see any Fords or Holdens, just second hand NASCARS with plastic shells on them.

With Ford or Holden engines under the bonnet.
Why do people think that?

People were saying the same for next year with the Merc, Nissan and Toyota entering the race. *Oh, only gonna be generic engines with badges stuck on them*
... But they aren't...

Toyota? I only heard it was Nissan and Merc. The plot thickens.

But yeah, on one hand I think it will be interesting to have a few more manufacturers. On the other hand though Ive only ever known it as Holden v Ford.. should be interesting

Yeah, seems as though Toyota are no longer a part of it.
Old information, and no confirmation until recently.

As to your comment, lol. Perhaps only in your time.
But many brands and models have been in that race including the might Godzilla, Sierra, Morris, etc etc.

Youtube have some good videos.

Kelly brothers are going Nissan which is a surprise.
Stone Brothers are going Mercedes.

Haven't heard much else from that so far, haven't looked it up either.
