Just when you thought you'd heard everything............................... Supercars is seriously investigating the addition of hybrid technology as the championship looks to bed down its future regulations by the end of the year. Series management and the Supercars Commission are assessing all options including the use of hybrid engines as it looks for the pathway for its next set of regulations dubbed ‘Next Generation’ with a view to implementation in 2021. Supercars CEO Sean Seamer says the next set of rules will be based around ‘evolution rather than revolution’ but admits hybrid technology is a key topic the series must investigate as it bids to attract new marques. The use of hybrids is becoming more prevalent as motorsport looks to align with current market trends with manufacturers focussing on the use of electrical energy in road cars.
