SVG showing why the Championship is his to lose this year. 888 are a class above every other team right now.

Usually the end of a set of regulations see a variety of teams at the front.
At the end of the Group C era, there were two Holden, two Ford, three Mazda teams plus BMW and Nissan with competitive cars. At the end of the Group A era Nissan, Ford, BMW and Holden all won races in the ATCC. Yet the end of the COTF era only two teams (888 and DJR) can claim any real consistency at the front of the field. |

Typical response from a holden supporter, it was obvious last year when they gave the commodore teams a leg up that this would happen, they have effectively robbed Peter to pay Paul, so what will happen now to address the imbalance that they have created?..........noooooothing.

It’s not a parity issue it’s that 888 are on top of their game and they’re hard to beat when they are. It’s not that interesting when one team runs away for a 1-2 on multiple occasions but hey you can’t blame the team for bringing their A game on race day. I’ve seen countless idiots on social media braying about parity over the last 24hrs when it’s not the issue at all. Ah the whole Holden v Ford argument really defies logic when you see fans discuss parity. It’s all emotion with no sound knowledge or understanding at all. |

Was there really a big parity review in 2020? There certainly was one in 2019, leading into the start of 2020 but pretty much little on that front since then. Parity has never been about wins but opportunity to win - if a team or teams does a better job with paritised machinery, good on them but if the parity pendulum has swung too far and favouring all teams with one make more than the other, then it seems like an adjustment could be due. DJR/Scotty was a team at the top of its game, as is 888. With (so far) no other teams regardless of brand stepping up to 888's level, hard to justify any calls for parity when it appears that team performance is the key. |

Not convinced that anything is massively out of whack parity wise just now. We had two teams dominating the series last year (one from each manufacturer) and as many suggested when one of those teams effectively disbanded, the other dominant team would likely stay well out in front this year and that is what has happened so far. |

Mr Hazelwood’s interview post-race was interesting.
It’s as if his BJR deal ISN’T being extended |
