Parity Review Has Been Called

Perhaps wouldn’t be so interesting if Bathurst wasn’t just a couple of weeks away..

Doubt that the new crank would be worse it would likely be better in every respect and isn't the Blanchard car using one for the parity evaluation?

Until sandown the engines had been very reliable I thought, it sounds like a bad batch from the supplier.

And now they shall seem to use a previously unknown m-to-them supplier of crankshafts in the replacement engines.

There was talk of these crankshafts coming out of China.. not the FoMoCo Performance centre in the US… so a third or fourth party at best…

Imagine building 10x of these engines and they lose even one in practice, without a serviceable spare… just WOW!
