Yeah, but it is one frame for all manufacturers/teams. Lower-tech than DTM (so lower budgets needed) and more diverse cars than the Aussi V8's should make a nice addition. I like that Jag...

and powered by good ol' V8 from the US of A.....
"The control V8STAR-engines have passed their test in the debut season in a convincing way. Their full, thundering sound is the symbol of the series and the most fascinating element for fans and spectators. At the same time, the 5.7 litre eight cylinder engines, built to the specifications of the V8STAR by American NASCAR-tuner Jack Roush, are also convincing from a technical point of view: during the nine races in the debut season, there was not one single engine failure. The concept of building on a rigid design and not push the power units to their limits, not even while running at full speed, has proven to be absolutely right"

Looks like a very interesting series.
There is more to high-tech than DOHC engines ya know. They can use technology to make these engines better and better.
