You can get it from the V8 site.

Looks like Chrysler will be joining next year. Auto Action is reporting it in their up coming edition and that possibly a 6th manufacturer is in the pipeline.

AA are reporting that the Aussie Ford Factories are to close. So maybe there's 3 more next year?

Hope that's not true, a lot of jobs out there.

Wish they would put out a station wagon version just so they can use it in the series :)

Possibly more that Junior gets paid this way and it allows DJR to auction off that seat to a high bidder allowing a little extra income and for them at this stage, it all helps.

The turn 3 tyre wall copped a flogging today. Was a good end to the final race.

A shame race 3 wasn't a lap longer. That was looking like a great battle.

How good is that? I'm glad it's not Chrysler, it might bring some non boganers into the sport. Maybe.

That's the STCC car. That's not too say it won't look like that, but it's not the V8 entrant.

I would say that the Volvo looks better then the Merc.

Ahh, if that's the STCC car then unlikely it'll look that good. They're based on the Megane Trophy cars I think which are mid-engined V6s with a space frame chassis. So the bonnet line will be considerably higher - especially since they have to fit a narrow (60°) angle V8 under there.
