Chrysler's performance tuning engineering group SRT is considering to enter the V8 Supercars in 2013 when the new "Car of the Future" regulations are set for introduction.
"I am extremely interested. It's not the first time I have heard of it but I don't want to let on that we are committing just yet," said SRT Brand and Motorsports CEO Ralph Gilles to Drive. Chrysler Group Australia, CGA, is positive towards the initiative of interest taken in V8 Supercars by SRT.
"We are in constant communication with SRT, which is a brand we are trying to build. Ralph is relatively new to heading up the SRT brand and he is certainly a motorsport fan. The Car of the Future concept looks like it would suit in that regard. Certainly we haven't closed the door, it's something we are looking at. But at this stage it's so preliminary we can't say whether we are in or out," said CGA managing director Clyde Campbell.
Chrysler has dipped its toe in the V8 Supercars championship before by supplying the safety car in the form of a Chrysler 300C SRT8.
"It's very unique to that market so it may work beautifully in the Australian market, so I am willing to help out if they are wanting to find a way," said Gilles.
