Marc have a space frame chassis. You can then choose panels to sit on top- currently they have a FordFocus or a Mazda 3:

There is no factory tie- these are race cars.

"So here is the latest MARC Car to hit the tracks in Europe.
Our customer Qvick Motors recently purchased the Imola chassis and has fitted a M235 BMW body based on the M235 Cup car.
It's fantastic to see the expansion of our modular chassis / body concept!
The car looks tough, and as always sounds great! The car will be rraced first up at the BGRDC Spa 400 race next month.
We recon it's pretty awesome.
Enjoy the footage from testing last week at SPA. BMW M235i V8 big flames (Marc cars conversion)Engine: 5000 cc / 305 cu in / Ford Coyote quad-cam V8 Power: 500 hp / 372,5 kw Torque: 600 nm / 442,5 Weight: 1250 kg / 2755,75 Chassis: Tubular, space frame..."
Oh ok. So this car is using their "Imola" space frame chassis, which they usually mount a focus or mazda 3 body over.

I'm thinking it's basically like NASCAR or DTM where you have M4, RS5, or C63 on a spec space frame.
