Parity Review Has Been Called

[Ares]

There was a disparity and Ford pushed for a last minute re-testing before season start. A small adjustment was indeed made. There were games being played in the testing process, twice to my knowledge this was found to be true. One was mechanical, the other was a test driver who had been instructed to drive the test car in a particular way. After all the testing of the cars, how did Ford (DJR) know last minute there was a problem? Why and how did this get missed in the extensive side-by-side testing program that DJR was a part of? Somewhere late in the off season, just prior to the start of the 2023 season, someone at DJR worked out that the extra frontend aero they had acquired? (How did they do that) was in fact not going to be an asset to them. And they needed it changed. ***** in the media for a re-test and try and fix the cockup, the rest is history. Just a team out of their depth? or a team to busy trying to get an advantage over their competitor and stuffed up. Little sympathy, and maybe that's Supercars attitude.

Hopefully the upcoming testing will sort this sorry saga out and we can move on to a better 2024. 2023 is almost in the bin.
