You would think they would be better off running the smaller body C Class. Do the rules mean they cannot run the C class?

AWESOME news.....as long as it's done properly.....there are some VERY VERY professional teams in V8 Supercars.....incl. Stone Bros, who will need to be at the top of their game, & have "support" from all the appropriate sources, to make this venture a success.
Cheers, Pickles.

It is not a factory team or Merc/AMG sponsored I believe. Was having a chat with OP today about it, it seems it is a private team using the E class with Mercs 'blessing.' Apparently they are paying AMG to use/develop the engine though.
