toyota in NASCAR

[badkuk]

dunno how significant the news is...pagkakaalam ko nobody's using Jap cars on NASCAR. ung Camry daw ang gagamitin, and it seems to have quite a few backers.

this is part of toyota's marketing strategy to capture the 'American Heartland' market

they already did kaya nga magsasara na ang Ford plants :evillaugh

I like this quotation:

But to the degree that some people lose interest in NASCAR because of it, one thing's for sure: NASCAR not only doesn't care, they've already forecast you to leave. You'll be replaced by 10 others.

It looks nice too!!!


One thing Im sure of, race day will definitely be interesting.

hanep a. talagang aggressive ang toyota

[niky]

Pure marketing on Toyota's part... to really become the "American" car company.

[finchy18]

kunin nila ako sana... gusto ko maging driver dyan.. Love it!

[scarab]

...pwede pala yun, kala ko US domestic brands lang pwede. would the nascar purists fans accept it tho'?

the purist is debating on it right now.

the last time they had an Import, 1950s daw.

Pero, at least hindi na ko mahihiyang sabihin na I watch NASCAR or to even wear the NASCAR jacket. hahahahaha

the camry is made in kentucky, so it qualifies, he-he-he. toyota tested the nascar waters when they entered the tundra sa craftsman truck series 2 years ago. i guess it was well received.

yellowneck na dahil Jap

[squala]

Well, if we speak F1, Toyota is a team based in Germany, not Japan.

In NASCAR though, will they have to build low-tech engines, or can they use much more advanced technology?

[niky]

Nope. The engines are boxed. All Nascar competitors use engines built on the same templates. The bodies also have to match basic shape templates (that's why they all look the same). Can't develop suspension, either, as everyone uses the same hardware, live axles in the rear.

That's NASCAR. Pagalinggan na lang sa tuning at sa driver. In fact, they don't even need manufacturers, as it's more of a driver's contest.

So who makes the engine and suspension?

[Tikoyman]

ano bang specs ng Nascar entry ng Toyota Camry?

[niky]

Di ako sure. May supplier yung engine yata. Yung suspension, may specs na sinusundan lang naman.

If you look at the underside of a NASCAR racer, it looks so crude. They did a comparo before, and a stock Viper GTS has better acceleration, better handling and more lateral grip. But if you try to race on a NASCAR oval with a stock Viper, you'd wear out its tires and suspension very quickly.
