We all know that the only thing that the V8 Supercar has in common with it's road going equivalent is basically just the shell. But Holden and Ford still go by the philosophy win on Sunday, sell on Monday; and it must work because otherwise Holden and Ford would have pulled their support long ago. Afterall that is one of the main reasons manufacturers get involved in motorsport, to sell their brand.
