I mentioned in a previous post that there are two cars missing from the Supercars Championship in-game. Now, realistically, there's only one. The Volvo S60. Gary Rogers Motorsport made the switch from Holdens to Volvos in 2014 with support from Volvo's racing division, Polestar Cyan Racing. Volvo then annouced this year that not only would they drop all support, but they are demanding that GRM return the cars to Volvo for... some reason... It's easy to see why Volvo wouldn't be too happy with their cars appearing in a game.

But technically, there's two. The second is the Mercedes-AMG E63. This car was campained by Erebus Motorsport from 2013 to 2015, but it hasn't appeared on the grid at all in 2016. Despite this, it still appears in the regulations as being a homogulated car (someting that can't even be said for the newest Commodore, the VFII), is eligible for the devopment series and still appears on the Mercedes-AMG website under customer sport. The team principle of Erebus Motorsport, Betty Klimenko, has also stated that they're currently in storage under layers of bubble wrap and may appear in the future, possibly as a wild card entry. So for all intents and purposes, it's still a V8 Supercar, just not an active one.

What I propose, is that Firemonkeys add the E63 V8 Supercar, to have something to go against the Altima in the bonus series, although it would need renaming. In terms of being able to win it, a limited time series would be the most sensible, since the other three were winnable in special events and a gauntlet.



And the price tag? R$4 000 000. Given that NASCAR, the WEC and even F1 all have cars that are purchasable with R$, it only makes sense that the Supercars follow suit, and with this car being (in theory) the least desirable of the four supercars, it should be the E63.

I hope you guys agree with me, and that someone from Firemonkeys sees this.
