True in some respects. But V8SC's are not 16 years old...maybe just ten, or so they claim. Although you do raise a point, every category had a use by date and has been replaced by something better and new.

Perhaps that's a subject for discussion.

Will V8SC fall over? Will V8SCs last forever? What will come next?


My thoughts..... V8SC will only die when the money runs out. And the fans will have little say in it.

When sponsors pull the plug, manufacturers loose interest and Govts stop bankrolling events, then things might change. Until then, enjoy the racing.

I will.
